6.11pm: They're shaking hands! Surrey have given up the ghost after what looked briefly like one of the most remarkable chases in recent Championship history. Good fightback from Gregory and Aldridge after Smith and Lawrence took the opening bowlers apart. The match is drawn, and Essex remain the only Division One team to have won a game.

shuffles outside off stump and cracks a pull into the leg side... but just for one, to deep midwicket

Gregory to Atkinson, 1 run

slower ball outside off, swiped down towards long-off

12.5
Gregory to Atkinson, no run

width outside off, looks to slap through the off side but can't lay bat on it

Atkinson at No. 7.

12.4
W
Gregory to Sibley, OUT

back-of-a-length ball at the right hip, Sibley shapes to muscle it over the leg side... but it loops straight up, and Gregory takes the catch off his own bowling

Dom Sibley c & b Gregory 4 (4b 0x4 0x6 5m) SR: 100

1
Gregory to Sibley, 1 run

width outside off, slapped out to deep cover for the single which gets Lawrence back on strike

James: "Does Sibley's arrival mean Surrey are giving up the ghost?" -- He played positively in the first innings and does have an extra gear... but it's Lawrence or bust, really

1
Aldridge to Sibley, 1 run

slower ball, leading edge squirts out to deep cover for a single... Lawrence off strike again, and Aldridge has 3 for 10 from his two overs

Sibley at No. 6. Surprised Jordan Clark hasn't been sent out for a hit as yet.

11.5
W
Aldridge to Burns, OUT

holes out to deep backward square! Strange innings from Burns who didn't seem sure whether he was teeing off or knocking it about. Back of a length, on the hip, and picks out the man on the rope

Rory Burns c Goldsworthy b Aldridge 0 (4b 0x4 0x6 4m) SR: 0
11.4
Aldridge to Burns, no run

hard length, Burns swings hard but can't get anything on it! Surely needs to tip-and-run to get Lawrence back on strike...

11.3
Aldridge to Burns, no run

offcutter, Burns is through the shot early and can't lay bat on ball

11.2
Aldridge to Burns, no run

width outside off, Burns flashes hard and misses

Somerset's fielders are all a few metres off the rope, conscious of stopping the second run.

Rory Burns walks out at No. 5... it feels like Surrey will need a ton from Lawrence if they are to pull this off.

11.1
W
Aldridge to Overton, OUT

cross-batted hoick, high but not very long... and Aldridge gets underneath it running back over his left shoulder! Somerset have stopped the bleeding in the last three overs

Jamie Overton c & b Aldridge 3 (5b 0x4 0x6 8m) SR: 60

Aldridge again.
