Warwickshire is host to Surrey and the BBC cameras at its magnificent County Ground, Edgbaston, for the first time in this competition.
The entertaining struggle for supremacy in the Sunday League is now very much under way, producing each week surprise results, close finishes, and brilliant personal performances. One thing assured in today's match is that, given the weather, the wicket prepared under the supervision of that expert groundsman Bernard Flack should be fast, true, and yield a prolific run rate.
