Why has Patel only bowled 1 over? hopefully not another injury!

No he isn't injured they seem to have preferred the slower seam of Maddy & Piolet who have bowled a dozen between them and are both currently bowling. Patel just left the pitch to change his footwear - i can only assume to put on his bowling boots!!!

Is Woakes injured? He appears to have only bowled 5 overs!

Is Woakes injured? He appears to have only bowled 5 overs!

No Woakes isn't injured he bowled 5 overs before lunch but the plan was to wait until after lunch before bowling him due to his 'quad' injury...they deemed they needed to bowl him and he took wkt of Hussey so i just suppose giving him a bit of a break. I suspect that he will bowl short spells. Incidentally Patel back in the attack now.
Patel on 99 now 207-5

[ADVILLAFAN]

Wonder if we'll have a lead going into our second batting innings?....

[PGW]

Barker has now been removed from the attack by the umpires for running on pitch - things get from bad to worse. The decision seems pretty harsh to be fair.
251-7  66.2 overs 47 behind.

Shazad in now

[PGW]

Tea at the Oval where Surrey have been bowled out for 145 in reply to Middx 294. Not bad for Bears with Surrey struggling in the relegation scrap should assist in as much as Bears not being dragged back into scrap at bottom.

Chance there Ateeq Javid spilled a running dive and catch at backward point very good effort conceding 4.
