Surrey battle back against Yorks on rain-hit day
Surrey took the remaining six Yorkshire first-innings wickets before lunch to dismiss Yorkshire for 486 during a rain-interrupted second day at Headingley. England Test quick Matthew Fisher finished with 4-92 from 25 overs, striking once as Yorkshire progressed from 362-4 overnight. After lunch, only four overs were possible and play ended with Surrey on 17 without loss. Fisher dismissed Jonny Bairstow for 120, caught at wide mid-on by Jordan Clark. Adam Lyth made 141 before edging to first slip. Jamie Smith did not keep wicket after a right-hand blow on day one, with Josh Blake deputising. George Hill and Dom Bess added 57 from 379-6, then fell to Dans Worrall and Lawrence. Lawrence also bowled Ben Cliff, and Clark caught Jhye Richardson in the deep. Light rain caused a near two-hour delay before Surrey’s reply resumed briefly, with Rory Burns remaining unbeaten on 14.
"Surrey took the remaining six Yorkshire first-innings wickets before lunch to bowl them out for 486 during a rain-interrupted second day of the County Championship fixture at Headingley. England Test quick Matthew Fisher finished with 4-92 from 25 overs, striking once today as the White Rose advanced from their overnight 362-4. Following a full morning's play, only four overs were possible after lunch and nothing beyond 16:00 BST, with Surrey's reply reaching 17 without loss."
"Fisher struck in the day's second over when he had Jonny Bairstow brilliantly caught at wide mid-on by a diving Jordan Clark for 120. Yorkshire's other centurion Adam Lyth was next to go for 141 when he tentatively pushed forwards at Clark's seam and edged to first slip. England wicketkeeper-batter Jamie Smith was on the field this morning but did not take the gloves for Surrey having taken a blow on the right hand late on day one. Josh Blake deputised behind the stumps."
"George Hill and Dom Bess shared 57 from 379-6 and contributed 34 and 42 respectively before falling to Dans Worrall and Lawrence. The spin of Lawrence also accounted for the wicket of Ben Cliff - bowled like Bess had been - before Clark had Jhye Richardson caught in the deep to wrap things up. The players returned to the field after lunch to start the Surrey reply, only for umpires Michael Gough and James Middlebrook to about-turn amidst light rain."
"Following a near two-hour delay from 13:50, play resumed briefly, allowing Surrey captain Rory Burns to drive and pull two boundaries off Jack White's new-ball seam in an unbeaten 14. Yorkshire finished with four batting bonus points, while Surrey claimed two bowling points. In all, 59 overs were lost from the day's allot"
