Surrey 318/7d, Bangladeshis 372/6 (102.5 ov), Bangladeshis lead by 54 runs with 4 wickets remaining in the 1st innings, stumps, day 2.

A break in the working day. Sneaking out to catch the rest of the morning session at The Oval. C’mon the ‘rrey!

Glorious. Free entry in SE11 to see a team of international cricketing superstars. Oh, and Bangladesh.

Surrey loudmouth Gary Wilson is in his element behind the stumps in a deserted Oval. They can hear the Irishman up at Lord’s.

Lone howl of approval from a Bangladesh fan sitting in the Peter May. 61-1 Bangladesh, againt the @surreycricket stiffs. Entertaining.

Blimey. Alec Stewart is on boundary boy 12th man duty at The Oval. Would love to see the @surreycricket legend out there again for a knock.

More pigeons inside Oval than spectators. Lone Bangladesh supporter making more noise. 50 up for Jahural, chasing down @surreycricket’s 318.

Discussing with Member’s what mood will be at first Cricket Forum in Long Room next week. Revolution is in the air. Cripes.

I’m hearing that the @surreycricket Brian Lara non-story was just that. Probably for the best.

Member’s debating star players and commitment to club given living outside of Ldn. Makes boundary ward displaced local politicians seem sane.

Watching / listening to 2 games. The ever splendid @surreycricket is 30 secs behind play, streamed on iPhone. Audio equivalent of replay.

10 minutes until luncheon at Oval. @sureycricket increasing over rate with spin, hopeful of a wicket. I’m hopeful of Wilson keeping gob shut.

Here comes Spriegel from V End. Really wish @surreycricket 1st team would have more faith in youth, as stated in aim. Couldn’t be much worse.

Jahural looks in fine form for Bangladesh ahead of first Test. Ashraful dropped on the boundary before luncheon.
