Yorkshire&#8217;s other centurion Adam Lyth was next to go for 141 when he tentatively pushed forwards at Clark&#8217;s seam and edged to first slip.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">England wicketkeeper-batter Jamie Smith was on the field this morning but did not take the gloves for Surrey having taken a blow on the right hand late on day one. Josh Blake deputised behind the stumps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">George Hill and Dom Bess shared 57 from 379-6 and contributed 34 and 42 respectively before falling to Dans Worrall and Lawrence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The spin of Lawrence also accounted for the wicket of Ben Cliff &#8211; bowled like Bess had been &#8211; before Clark had Jhye Richardson caught in the deep to wrap things up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The players returned to the field after lunch to start the Surrey reply, only for umpires Michael Gough and James Middlebrook to about-turn amidst light rain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Following a near two-hour delay from 13:50, play resumed briefly, allowing Surrey captain Rory Burns to drive and pull two boundaries off Jack White&#8217;s new-ball seam in an unbeaten 14.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Yorkshire finished with four batting bonus points, while Surrey claimed two bowling points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">In all, 59 overs were lost from the day&#8217;s allotted 96. Play was abandoned just before 17:45.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Surrey took the remaining six Yorkshire first-innings wickets before lunch to bowl them out for 486 during a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":673952,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194299],"tags":[49,48,87674],"class_list":["post-673951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-surrey","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-surrey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/673951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=673951"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/673951\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/673952"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=673951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=673951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=673951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
