- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.6 Strike! After a few outside off, Roach gets one fuller and into Organ, who ends up trapped in front playing around his pad as his weight takes him to the off side. A straightforward decision for the umpire... 8/125.6 Gone! Middleton's resistance comes to an end, as Clark goes wider on the crease and square's up the opener. Smith, who had dropped the batter on 0, does the job this time 88/56.2 Oh Gubbo… What a way to go! The left-hander defends in front of his eyes, knocking the ball into the ground in front of him. But the backspin takes it agonisingly onto leg stump with enough force to dislodge the bail 10/212.1 Gone! Sean Abbott strikes with his first delivery! Replacing Kemar Roach from the Pavilion End, his opening delivery outside off stump has a bit more bounce. Vince goes at it with hard hands, Sibley (1st slip) takes the catch at the second attempt 38/313.2 Wow! Lawes sends off stump cartwheeling with his second delivery! Dawson plays the line of the ball - middle and off - but doesn't anticipate seam away which leaves him for dead. Surrey rampant! 39/470.3 Breakthrough! And it's the main man Ben Brown! Tom Lawes gets a full delivery to angle late into the right-hander, who is across his stumps attempting to find runs on the leg side. After a huge appeal and a bit of deliberation, the umpire raises his finger and the partnership between Brown and Barker comes to an end on 96 210/735.4 Worrall gets in on the act! Holland attempts a back-foot-drive but gets cramped for room and skews one away to point, where Cameron Steel takes a smart low catch 114/676.2 Gone! Just as Barker was looking to hit the accelerator, Lawes manages to get him caught down the leg side. A brilliant knock from Barker, who came in with Hampshire 114/6 249/878.6 Yorked! Four for Lawes as he does Abbott for pace with an inch-perfect yorker 253/979.3 Oh that is comical... Abbas turns looking for the second run but Fuller's not interested and Abbas is marooned a couple of feet out of his crease. A tame way to end what has been a sterling effort from Hampshire's lower order 253/9Extras10 (lb 6, nb 4)TOTAL254 all out (79.3 Overs, RR: 3.19)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Felix Organ, 2.6 ov), 2-10 (Nick Gubbins, 6.2 ov), 3-38 (James Vince, 12.1 ov), 4-39 (Liam Dawson, 13.2 ov), 5-88 (Fletcha Middleton, 25.6 ov), 6-114 (Ian Holland, 35.4 ov), 7-210 (Ben Brown, 70.3 ov), 8-249 (Keith Barker, 76.2 ov), 9-253 (Kyle Abbott, 78.6 ov), 10-254 (Mohammad Abbas, 79.3 ov)
- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR31.4 Got him! Abbas has deserved another and he finally gets it: moving to around the wicket to the left-hander and getting a full delivery to leave the Surrey captain after angling into the stumps 81/221.4 Abbas strikes! Hampshire are up and about - Abbas gets this one to hold its line outside off stump after primarily serving seam-in deliveries to Sibley. Dawson takes a sharp catch at second slip 44/181.1
Ollie Pope is gone! An attempted late cut is played onto his own stumps and Hampshire are thrilled. It's been a great battle between the two, but Abbas wins out 234/7 44.6 Grab! An excellent take from Vince at first slip! It's come to him quickly at head height after Fuller coaxes a thick edge off a big drive from Patel, but he adjusts sharply to end a promising innings 124/362.2 First of Day 3! Abbott runs one back into Smith that pierces his forward defence and takes out off stump! 162/573.6 Brilliantly timed, poorly placed... Steel picks up a delivery on leg stump all the way out to Middleton three-quarters of the way back at midwicket. He timed that superbly but straight to the only man out there 201/681.2 Abbas is on a hat-trick! Lawes is trapped LBW first up with bit of late movement off the deck into the right-hander. Kemar Roach to face to hat-trick delivery... 234/883.4 Five for Abbas! Roach is trapped in front and Abbas has 6th five-wicket haul for Hampshire, and 43rd overall 246/985.5 That's all she wrote! Abbas bowls Worrall to bag his 6th and Surrey's innings comes to an end. Some brilliant hitting by Sean Abbott lifted Surrey to a 16-run lead.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.3 Another! Full and there for driving but Organ can only edge straight to first slip 33/27.5 Bowled 'im! Middleton is squared up and loses his off stump. Worrall is in quite the groove... 28/171.1 Huge! Lawes, after a collection of deliveries across Gubbins, gets one a little straighter to force the left-hander to press forward and finds the edge, straight to Sibley at first slip! Hampshire lead by 192... 208/610.2 Another! Poor shot from Vince, almost a carbon-copy to his first innings dismissal, neither forward nor back, prodding at a good length ball outside off stump. This time he's caught at second slip 34/380.3 Oh how tame... Fuller chips the new ball straight to Patel at cover. Hampshire lead by 225 241/782.5 Castled! Roach pierces the defence of Abbott, knocking back off stump with a bit of movement off the pitch into the right-hander. A typical dismissal for the West Indian. Hampshire lead by 231 247/887.2 Gone! Worrall has been all over Barker and finally puts the left-hander out of his misery. It's a short ball from around the wicket which Barker flails high to Smith behind the stumps. Hampshire's lead is 242... 258/987.6 Worrall gets 5! Abbas is squared up and trapped LBW and that's 5/40 for Worrall. He's bowled excellently throughout the match. Sharp work from Surrey, taking the final 5 wickets this morning for the concession of just 45 runs. 258/9Extras25 (b 5, lb 10, nb 10)TOTAL258 all out (88 Overs, RR: 2.93)Fall of wickets: 1-28 (Fletcha Middleton, 7.5 ov), 2-33 (Felix Organ, 9.3 ov), 3-34 (James Vince, 10.2 ov), 4-58 (Liam Dawson, 18.6 ov), 5-119 (Ben Brown, 41.4 ov), 6-208 (Nick Gubbins, 71.1 ov), 7-241 (James Fuller, 80.3 ov), 8-247 (Kyle Abbott, 82.5 ov), 9-258 (Keith Barker, 87.2 ov), 10-258 (Mohammad Abbas, 87.6 ov)
