6.53pm Fist-bumps time. A valiant effort from both sides there. Surrey set up a challenging declaration, Middlesex went for it with gusto through Nick Gubbins and Peter Handscomb, and Surrey finished back on top thanks to Kemar Roach's farewell five-for. And all in front of a crowd too! Cricket, it's back...

Roach to Helm, no run, yorker, well dug out. This is a tremendous final flourish from Roach. Can he send himself off with a ten-for at least?

Roach to Andersson, OUT, five-for for Roach! He's signing off in style. Andersson's joy is short-lived, as he aims a waft to leg and is bowled off his pads for his efforts. At what stage do Middlesex think they ought to shut up shop? As might have been mentioned, their batting has been frail of late...
