Hands shaken on a draw at The Oval. The pitch created by the Oval ground staff was too heavily weighted towards the bat to be considered fit for four day cricket, and the result was a draw in match capsized by sheer overload of runs.

Sibley gives his wicket away to bring up the lunch interval. Ajaz Patel had bowled four consecutive wides, and then finally managed a legal delivery, which Sibley turned straight into the hands of Eskinazi. Surrey 105-2, still 66 short of avoiding the innings defeat.

Leicestershire end with a first innings lead of 171 - 691 plays 520. Leicestershire could win by taking 10 wickets tomorrow and knocking off whatever target is set, Surrey can do no better than draw from here.
