Essex v Surrey at Chelmsford

The Electronic Telegraph

14 June 1998


ESSEX moved up to joint leadership after winning their rain-affected game with bottom county Surrey which was decided by the Duckworth-Lewis method.

Surrey followers felt the umpires should have brought the sides off when rain was again falling after eight overs when the visitors were 44 for five to give them two points in an abandoned match.

Essex followers thought Surrey's batsmen were taking far too long to get out to the middle - where Ronnie Irani took two wickets in successive balls and Darren Cousins secured three in his three overs.
