SURREY V SOMERSET at the Kia Oval (Royal One-Day London Cup)
17 AUGUST 2022

It looks like the weather will spare Surrey further humiliation, after conceding back-to-back 350+ List A totals for the first time in their history. However, it would be unfair to be overly critical given the extent to which the South Londoners' roster has been ravaged by The Hundred.

Somerset haven't exactly had a great time in this season's Royal London either. The Cidermen are yet to get off the mark in the competition. However, they have come close on a couple of occasions - when beaten by Durham by 9 runs and Middlesex by a solitary wicket.

The Royal London has seen Ben Green (52.75), who has picked up a thigh injury, Matt Renshaw (48.00) and 18-year-old James Rew (41.60) in the runs for Somerset, while the bowling has been led by Sonny Baker (9 wickets at 17.00) and Kasey Aldridge. Old stager Jack Brooks has also been economical, plus fellow seamer Alfie Ogborne has done little wrong in his three appearances to date.

Surrey v Somerset - List A Records Sheet


Somerset's George Bartlett (480) and Lewis Goldsworthy (493) are closing in on 500 List A career runs, while Matt Renshaw looks set to make his 50th List A appearance.


Cameron Steel is still observing concussion protocols, but Nick Kimber, who also missed last Sunday's chastening trip to Hove, looks set to return after illness.

Rain ...but if the weather forecasters have got it completely wrong about thunderstorms arriving around 1pm, it's difficult to see the scars Surrey suffered at the hands of Middlesex and Sussex healing so soon.
