A grubby long-hop, Burns rocks back gleefully and smokes Surrey to Championship No.21!
Surrey vs Yorkshire, at London, County DIV1, Sep 20 2022 - Ball by Ball Commentary
2.36pm Jubilation at the Micky Stewart Oval, and handshakes all round. That was emphatic... would have made a decent Powerplay in the Blast. Burns and Patel make their way back to the Pavilion, and the celebrations can begin with a game to spare! As for Yorkshire, that's a drubbing, and with weirdness afoot in this round of games, the relegation trapdoor opens again. The Championship presentation, incidentally, will take place at Old Trafford next week.
Thanks for joining our County Championship Pop-Up Comms... I'm diving off to Karachi now. Laters!
dabbed down to deep third once more
down the pitch, a big wind-up, but not quite connected... Five more
reverse-sweep, emphatically played! Clean through deep third. Six to win ...
kneeling onto the front foot, and they take the single to long-off
into position early for the sweep, can't beat short backward square
Now then, is this the over? I think Burns is in the mood...
fenced back down the pitch to the bowler
head over the ball, stabbed into the off side
turn and bounce from round the wicket, no stroke needed
on the back foot, punched uppishly to short cover
flicked calmly off the toes to deep midwicket
beaten outside off, and the keeper fumbles to beat the good impression
a languid pull into acres of space at deep midwicket
dragged down outside off, cuffed to deep point once more
fired out wide, can't reach it
a filthy head-high full-toss! That's a terrible ball, and it disappears to the third man boundary, via an uppercut
wears this one on the body. But Surrey are nearly there
