Where and when

The Kia Oval, Surrey, Sunday 7 August, 11am.

Bowler, Liam Norwell said...

"The Oval is a fast-scoring ground even in four-day cricket, so we have got to be right on our games again as bowlers...if we are and show the same intent with the bat, we could go a long way in the tournament."

Head to head

Played 49, Bears 23, Surrey 26

Blast from the past

2009 saw Jonathan Trott star with bat and ball as the Bears cruised to a nine-wicket Pro40 win at The Oval. Trott took three for 36 to restrict the home side to 200 from 40 overs, then opened the batting and was still there on 79 when the Bears reached 201 for one from 35. He shared an unbroken stand of 169 with Ian Bell (90 not out).

Who's hot?

Rob Yates. Timed the ball exquisitely on his way to 97 from 65 balls against Gloucestershire at Cheltenham.

Look out for

Ben Geddes. Accomplished young batter who captained Surrey in their opening RLC game aged just 21 and in only his fifth List A match.

On the brink

Craig Miles needs four wickets for 50 in List A cricket.
