Match Notes

  • Flintoff content with comeback

    Andrew Flintoff was content with his return to first-class cricket but insisted that his fragile left ankle will require constant supervision for the rest of his career

  • Butcher and Afzaal flay Lancashire

    April is meant to be a month of swing bowlers, green seamers and low scores, but Surrey went on an early-season run-spree at The Oval as they racked up 537 for 5

  • Follow-on looms for Lancashire

    Surrey have never been on the back foot in this match and it was the weather that stopped them making further inroads on the third day at The Oval.

  • Ramprakash century overshadows Flintoff

    Mark Ramprakash made an unbeaten 102, his 98th first-class century, as Surrey reached 242 for 2 on the opening day against Lancashire
