Shakib Al Hasan took four wickets on Surrey debut while Tom Banton hit his third first class century for the hosts.

The battle of the top two in the table began with the home side winning the toss and electing to bat first on a pitch expected to offer increasing turn as the match progresses. Banton hit a brilliant 132, one short of his career-best, with 16 fours and a six, while Tom Abell contributed 49 and James Rew 38.

But Surrey launched a determined fightback with the second new ball to limit the damage from 305 for five at one stage.
Bangladesh left-arm spinner Shakib Ul Hasan, signed solely for this game, claimed four for 97 and Dan Worrall three for 41.

  1. Leaving his countrymen to die being the parliamentarin!!! Playing and earning money, and even now when his godmother is in exile making more money in foreign country. Shakib is a disgrace. I wouldn't care less this betrayer and his achievement. He sided either he dictator and killed the young Bangladeshi. I am not even Bangladeshi but I absolutely hate him!!!

  2. Yes, shakib al hasan is very talented. But I don’t need to see him in England country cricket. Because, cricket is a game of gentlemen. Shakib isn’t a gentleman.
