Notts beat Surrey to become title favourites
"Dan Lawrence made 50, and featured in a brave 51-run stand with Tom Curran that rocked Notts back on their heels as the runs needed came down to 75, but it was the visitors who held their nerve. Liam Patterson-White, the slow left-arrmer brought on for what became the game's sole over of spin, had Curran stumped with his fourth ball for a 33-ball 33 and then Dillon Pennington removed Lawrence to leave the stage to Tongue."
"The big England Test fast bowler ended a bright eighth wicket stand between Lawes and Gus Atkinson by having the latter caught at first slip for 11. And then, four balls later, sheer pace forced Matt Fisher to chop down into his own stumps to go for a duck. Even then, however, with 34 more runs required, Lawes and Worrall chipped away until Tongue delivered the coup de grace."
Nottinghamshire secured a 20-run win over Surrey at The Oval, with innings of 231 and 256 against Surrey's 173 and 294. Josh Tongue bowled with pace and stamina to finish 5-100 and took the final three wickets to clinch the match. Liam Patterson-White top-scored for Notts and effected the key stumping of Tom Curran. Dan Lawrence made 50 and put on a 51-run stand with Curran that threatened the chase, but Dillon Pennington and Tongue regained control. Matt Fisher was dismissed for a duck late in the innings, and Tom Lawes’ resistance ended on the deep cover boundary.
