Fantastic innings. Surrey had all day to chase less than 200 and put the league to bed. Made the quite frankly ridiculous decision to play for a draw instead. Got their just desserts, Somerset wrapped up the win with only minutes to spare
I watched much of the last couple of hours of the game and, although I didn’t get Surrey’s attitude (I suppose the Championship would have been theirs with a draw), I’d give Somerset credit for some great late order batting and good bowling - Michael Vaughan’s boy, who opened the batting and took eleven wickets in the game, looks a prospect.
