Surrey v Worcestershire

The sun is out all weekend - so what better way to soak it up than at the glorious Oval, supping on some pints and watching some lads gently caress willow against leather playing God’s sport? Surrey are playing Worcestershire in the County Championship Division One and it looks like a road of a pitch, so get ready for a run-fest.
