Went to the Oval yesterday, but squally showers put an end to the action just after lunch. Young Yorkshire batsman Elliot Callis was in the squad, but not selected as Jason Gillespie went for the option of an extra spinner (Rafiq) instead . Surrey finished on 95-2. Had a couple of pints of Scarlet Macaw in the Oakham ales pub opposite Kennington tube station to compensate for the early finish (very nice too). Match has resumed on time a few minutes ago, but more thundery showers are forecast for later. Live commentary on Radio 5 Live Extra for anybody who is interested
