    47.6 hit on the pad, and up goes the finger! Burns doesn't look too happy about it - height might have been an issue. Replays confirm it would have trimmed the top of off stump 135/2
    46.1 nicked off! Finally Middlesex make a breakthrough. Inside-edged through to the keeper 135/1

    71.4 bowled im! Wide on the crease, angled in towards the top of off stump, and past Amla's bat. Middlesex make their first breakthrough of the day 185/7
    52.1 nip-backer which smashes Pope on the pad and he's gone! Pope was a long way across, batting on off stump as he has tended to this season. The idea is that he can whip anything straight through the leg side but this nipped in off the seam and looked pretty good to the naked eye. Yep, HawkEye confirms it would have hit the top of middle 140/3
    52.5 holds its line in the off-stump channel, and draws a faint nibble behind from Foakes! Surrey's England pair in the middle order both fall to Andersson without scoring and Middlesex are on fire! 140/4
    53.3 and another! Middlesex have taken five wickets for six runs! Tentative poke at a ball in the channel outside off stump, and a good low catch in the slips from Robbie White. Came a little wider on the crease, angling the ball in. Good movement in off the seam, forcing Smith to play, and the outside edge flies low to first slip 141/5
    54.2 fullish, straight, pinned on the front pad, and umpire Lloyd's finger shoots up! Carnage in South London! 142/6
    72.1 nicks him off! Loose drive from Clarke, throwing his hands at a fullish ball in the channel, and Cullen locates the outside edge to take his second. Surrey lose two in quick succession 185/8
    76.6 nips in off the seam, smashes the pad, and up goes the finger! Full, angling in, Topley was nowhere near it and thumped on the top of the back pad, right in front. Walked straight off, not even waiting for the umpire's decision! 190/9
    77.1 edged low to slip! Surrey miss out on a batting point. Helm has been excellent in this innings and tailed another full outswinger away from the bat. Roach edges to White, and Middlesex have bowled their cross-town rivals out for 190 190/10

    5.4 angles in, nips away, Robson has a poke and nicks it straight to Foakes! Just a fraction back of a length, nibbling away late off the seam and forcing him to play. Roach is off in celebration and Surrey have two early ones! 19/2
    5.1 perfect line, good length, Davies prods awkwardly at it and gets a thin edge through to the keeper! Surrey have their first. Nips away off the seam to take Davies' outside edge 18/1
    6.2 full, smashed on the pad as it nips away a touch off the seam, and Gubbins is gone! Gubbins was looking to work to leg but this was a beauty from Topley that nibbled away from him. Middlesex in all sorts with the bat... again! 19/3
    9.1 timber! Handscomb's stinking form with the bat continues as Roach sends his off stump flying. Wide on the crease, angling in, nipping away, and Handscomb is nowhere near it 27/4
    19.2 full toss smashes White on the pad, and up goes the finger! Clark sheepishly puts his hands over his face in embarrassment, but they all count! 60/5
    44.5 full and wide, squeezed out to gully and Pope takes an excellent, low diving catch! Pretty much off the face as Simpson opened the face of the bat looking to steer it away 152/9
    27.2 edged, and Rikki Clarke takes a screamer at second slip! Topley angles this across Andersson, who throws his hands at it, and gets a thick outside edge. Clarke sticks his hands out and clings onto the chance, to oohs and aahs from the Oval crowd 98/6

    39.6 knocks him over! And there's a celebration to match. Nips away from a fullish length and rips off stump out the ground - the perfect fast bowler's wicket. Roach has four, Surrey have seven 140/7
    42.6 fullish outside off, and driven straight to Amla on the up at mid-off! Timed nicely enough but straight to the man on the catch, and Helm has to go. Middlesex eight down 147/8

    8.1 screamer from Pope in the gully! Full and probing, shaping away from the left-hander as he looks to work to leg, and Pope dives to his left to cling onto a brilliant catch! Surrey have their first breakthrough 18/1
    16.3 nicked to second slip! Angled across him, hint of nibble in off the seam, and outside-edged to Clarke in the cordon 47/2
    53.1 makes room to leg, connects well on the lofted flog to deep cover, but not well enough! It's the long boundary, and Burns is set back on it. The end of a tremendous innings. Had there been even five more overs available, I think he'd have seen it home 243/5
    49.5 absolutely clobbered, but straight to deep cover! Handscomb could not have hit that harder or better, making room to leg, and smoking the cut... but Pope was the only man back and he swallows it in his bread-basket! 219/3
    51.3 bowled him! Slower ball again from Roach, Simpson was lining up the swipe across the line, but the ball kept shaping back into the left-hander, and wriggles into the top of his middle stump 227/4
    53.3 five-for for Roach! He's signing off in style. Andersson's joy is short-lived, as he aims a waft to leg and is bowled off his pads for his efforts. At what stage do Middlesex think they ought to shut up shop? As might have been mentioned, their batting has been frail of late... 247/6
