Glamorgan fielded an unchanged team with Colin Ingram having been capped shortly before the start of play, but Surrey’s decision to bowl first was vindicated as Jade Dernbach trapped David Lloyd l.b.w with his third delivery before bowling Kiran Carlson next over as the newly capped Ingram made his wat to the middle with 7 runs on the board.
After Rudolph had punched Sam Curran off the back foot through extra cover, Ingram clipped him to fine-leg. He then had a life as Tom Curran dropped a miscued catch at mid-on before pulling Dernbach for four to fine-leg.
Rudolph greeted the introduction of both Tom Curran and Ravi Rampaul into the attack by drilling them through the covers for four as the 50 came up in the 12th over. Ingram then pulled Rampaul for six to bring up the fifty stand before Rudolph on-drove Curran (T). Ingram added another boundary to his tally when he pulled Rampaul for four behind square-leg, although Rudolph’s next four was off the outside edge to third man.
Ingram then lofted Curran (T) to long-off for six en route to completing a 63*-ball fifty, whilst Rudolph brought up the 100 by reverse-sweeping Batty for four shortly after pulling Curran for four to reach his fifty from 60 balls. But after repeating the stroke next over, he under-edged a ball onto his stumps as Glamorgan lost their third wicket on 120. It then became 131/4 as Dernbach returned to bowl Aneurin Donald and he might have gained a fourth victim had Dominic Sibley at deep square-leg held onto a pull.
Chris Cooke announced his arrival by cover-driving Batty before Ingram harpooned Rampaul for six into the Foster’s Grandstand. But the West Indian gained revenge next over as Ingram holed out at long-on as Glamorgan slipped to 161/5 in the 33rd over. Craig Meschede began by on-driving Rampaul for four but with the total on 176 Sam Curran returned and saw Cooke edge a drive into the wicket-keeper’s gloves.
After a couple of swift singles Andrew Salter pulled Rampaul for six before hooking Sam Curran to square-leg for four. Meschede then clubbed Curran to mid-wicket to bring up the 200 but in the following over he spliced another pull into Foakes’ gloves. 209/7 then became 211/8 as Salter chipped Batty to short mid-wicket. Marchant de Lange drilled Rampaul through the covers for four before flat-batting Curran over long-off for six but two overs later he was run out attempting a second to long-on.
When play resumed at 4.45pm, Surrey’s revised target was 182 from 29 overs with Mark Stoneman showing positive intent from the outset with a pair of flowing drives as Marchant de Lange and Lukas Carey shared the new ball. Stoneman also flicked de Lange to mid-wicket for another sweetly struck four but with 21 on the board Sibley was caught behind driving at Carey. This brought Kumar Sangakkara to the crease and the veteran Sri Lankan began by unfurling a pair of high-class off drives against de Lange and a deft leg glance against Salter to the ropes at fine-leg.
Stoneman also swept Salter for four before off-driving Hogan to the ropes as the flurry of fours put Surrey ahead of the par score after 10 overs – the minimum number to constitute a match. Stoneman then greeted Ingram by straight the leg-spinner’s first ball for four before Sangakkara drilled successive balls from Meschede through the covers for four, followed by a sweep for four when Salter returned. Stoneman copied the latter as he reached his fifty from 36 balls, Sangakkara followed suit from 47 balls as he pulled de Lange for two.
The boundaries continued as Stoneman unfurled a ferocious pull for four against Carey, followed by a huge swat over mid-wicket’s head for four plus an orthodox leg-glance as nineteen runs came from the over. His cameo ended though next over as he drilled a ball from de Lange to Hogan at mid—on and departed for 74 from 48 balls. Sangakkara continued his masterclass and found the ropes yet again as he cut and cover drove de Lange, before nonchalantly clipping both him to mid-wicket as well as Meschede. It was Rory Burns however who scored the winning runs with the Surrey batsman flicking David Lloyd to square-leg for four as Surrey won with 30 balls remaining.
