SURREY V YORKSHIRE - DAY 2

Bresnan and Gillespie continued to perform well and with Gillespie in particular finding the boundry Yorkshire's 450 came up, the Austrailian moving on to his half century. Gillespie, very much the aggressor today, had his scoring rate up to 75 per hundred balls as the 150 partnership arrived up. Bresnan more circumspect moved patiently past his half century. Azhar Mahmood was the pick of the Surrey bowlers but Yorkshire's ninth wicket pair tore in to the Surrey spinners Schofield and Doshi and on the stroke of lunch the 200 partnership arrived, Bresnan unbeaten on 92 and Gillespie 97.

Both players both completed their first Yorkshire tons after lunch and their partnership moved on to 246 (a Yorkshire 9th wicket record that had stood since 1898) before Doshi tempted Bresnan out of his crease and Batty completed the stumping. Bresnan went for 116 (214 balls, 11 fours and 2 sixes). Gough declared on Bresnan's dismisal leaving Gillespie 123 not out (192 balls, 21 fours).

When Surrey batted Hoggard struck early, McGrath taking a great catch to dismiss Batty for 5. Newman, making up dropping Rashid on 0 and Ramprakash then played well for Surrey, they put on 196 together and looked set to send Surrey safely to the close with one wicket down; but then it all changed, Rashid had Newman caught by Gillespie for 124 to start off a loss for 4 wickets for 16 all to Rashid. Benning went for 0, then night watchman Doshi charged Rashid and was stumped, a great Yorkshire day was they complete when Rashid dismissed Ally Brown for 4. Rashid has taken 4 for 65 and Surrey stand 357 runs behind on 237 for 5. Big Danger Mark Ramprakash is still there on 92.
