"Surrey needs to bat diligently to save the game but, on a pitch which has become mostly batter-friendly, would be disappointed not to shepherd the 174th County Championship match between these two sides to its 77th draw."
"Warwickshire resumed their first innings on the third morning on 330-2, already two runs in front, and Surrey's objective was to make run-scoring a lot less comfortable than the previous day."
Surrey faces a challenging final day at Edgbaston, trailing Warwickshire by 47 runs after closing day three at 169-3. Warwickshire scored 544 all out, with Dan Mousley contributing a career-best 144. Surrey's Jamie Smith remains unbeaten on 51, but they require at least two players to bat long to save the match. The pitch has become favorable for batting, increasing the pressure on Surrey to avoid an innings defeat in this crucial County Championship opener.
