Overview
- Surrey closed day three on 66 without loss and require 249 more runs with all ten wickets in hand.
- Matt Fisher completed figures of 6-73 in the second innings and 11-134 in the match, with Gus Atkinson taking the final wicket.
- Nottinghamshire were dismissed for 231 and 256, lifted in their second innings by Liam Patterson-White’s 58, Brett Hutton’s unbeaten 42, and a 97-run seventh-wicket stand with Lyndon James.
- Surrey’s first-innings collapse from 101-1 to 173 all out left them 58 behind and handed Nottinghamshire an early foothold.
- With most other fixtures disrupted by weather, both teams sit level on three bowling bonus points and separated by a single table point, heightening the stakes and spotlighting Fisher’s England Lions case.
