Whilst we were watching, we were also keeping an eye on the sky, as the clouds were getting darker.
We started to move towards our car and just as we reached the car, the rain fell down. We waited a few minutes and saw see the dark clouds still in the distance and decided to leave.
Claire’s curse struck again at Beckenham and there was no more play, with Western Storm 38 for 3 from 6 overs.

They really feel at home these days during the day light.

Final pictures from the visit to the Kia Oval, on what was the warmest day of the year so far, but that’s not saying much for this year.


As mentioned before in a blog posting, this was some recovery by Surrey, from 15-4 in the first innings.
Surrey 213 in 54.1 overs (Ollie Pope 63, Dan Lawrence 84) & 427 in 103.3 overs (Rory Burns 70, Jamie Smith 72, Dan Lawrence 87, Jordan Clark 98, Yadvinder Singh 19.3-1-103-4) beat Worcestershire 128 in 42 overs (Daniel Worrall 12-6-22-6) & 231 in 57.3 overs (Nathan Smith 60, Ben Gibbon 75, Daniel Worrall 16-4-35-4) by 281 runs.
Very enjoyable relaxing day had. Impressive to see so many international players playing in the county championship, especially with all the T20 competitions on around the world.
