    Surrey 67-2 v Hampshire

    James Fuller replaces Delano Potgieter in the attack from the Vauxhall End on his second Championship start of the season.

    Dom Sibley leans on the fourth delivery and guides it past the slips to the the third man boundary for his first boundary which wasn't square on the leg side.

    He then keeps strike with a single to move on to 29*.

    Surrey 62-2 v Hampshire

    Sonny Baker strays onto Dom Sibley's legs again and is punished, again, with a clip to long leg for Sibley's fourth leg-side boundary of the morning.

    Baker recovers and Sibley is forced to dig out a yorker on middle stump from the fifth delivery, but Sibley daps a single to mid-on to keep strike and move onto 24*.

    Surrey 57-2 v Hampshire

    Dan Lawrence is oozing confidence, averaging 57 in the Championship and fresh from an unbeaten 94 on this ground on friday night and drives his first ball from Delano Potgieter, which is blocked in the covers.

    No run there but there are four of them from the second ball, in very similar fashion, just leaning on an overpitched one and sending it to the fence.

    Delano Potgieter has another.

    After giving up a couple of singles, the South African produces one of his poorest deliveries of the morning, tempting Will Jacks into a square drive, only to send it down the throat of Felix Organ who takes a neck-high catch at backward point.

    Dan Lawrence is the new man in the middle.

    Surrey 51-1 v Hampshire

    Don't stray onto Dom Sibley's pads, surely rule 1A of County Championship bowling.

    Sonny Baker hasn't read it and is clipped crisply to deep square for Sibley's third boundary of the morning, all in identical fashion.

    Baker does it again from his fourth delivery but Sibley can't connect and Ben Brown can't claim it diving to his left and it races away for four byes, and the ball has gone missing under some covers.

    Three players are needed to recover it, and it takes a good couple of minutes.

    Surrey 43-1 v Hampshire

    Delano Potgieter looks sharp.

    He concedes a single to Dom Sibley but finds the edge of Will Jacks' bat with the edge dropping a foot short of second slip.

    Jacks actually played that pretty well.

    The South African beats the outside edge again before the over is out.

    16 overs done. Slow going from the hosts, but understandably so after being put in in these conditions.

    Surrey 42-1 v Hampshire

    Kyle Abbott gets a breather after seven overs and Sonny Baker returns to the attack from the Pavilion End.

    We'll see whether he needs sawdust at that end too.

    His second ball is left by Will Jacks but nips back to beat the outside of off-stump by a whisker.

    The fourth ball draws a play and miss past the outside edge.

    Baker is on the money and is getting some extra bounce.

    And here comes the sawdust.

    Baker's first maiden over of the morning.

    Delano Potgieter sends down a maiden for the 14th over of the morning with Dom Sibley on 13* and Will Jacks on 9*.

    Hampshire coach Russell Domingo told me before the game he's never seen a wicket with so much grass on it for a First Class game, but we've only seen one wicket in the opening hour, you'd have thought we'd see one or two more.

    The pitch has done a bit but not as much as you might have expected.

    Surrey 42-1 v Hampshire

    Lovely stuff from Kyle Abbott who beats Will Jacks all ends up with his first delivery of his seventh over.

    He's been a sensation in the county game since he popped up at Southampton NINE years ago. Goodness me where does time go?

    Abbott has it on a string until he strays onto the pads from the fifth ball and Jacks slips it away to the fine leg fence for four runs, the only scoring shot from Abbott's past two overs.

    Surrey 38-1 v Hampshire

    Will Jacks picks up a single into the leg side off the second ball of Delano Potgieter's second over.

    He's got his length right from the off, and has the only breakthrough so far, on a lime green track and in conditions which you'd think would favour the bowlers.

    Kiss of death, sorry Hants fans, his final ball is slung down the leg side and Dom Sibley needs no invitation to crack it sweetly to the deep square rope to move to 13*.

    Surrey 33-1 v Hampshire

    Dom Sibley lets one go in flamboyant fashion but Kyle Abbott's delivery thumps him on the back thigh as he shoulders arms and dribbles through to the slips.

    The final ball also hits Sibley amidships before rolling away.

    It's the first maiden over of the match at the 11th attempt.

    It's getting very gloomy here and I think the floodlights are going on.

    Will Jacks gets off the mark from the first ball as he flashes a full ball from Delano Potgieter through the covers for four.

    Picking up where he left off in his swashbuckling 70 here on Friday night.

    A no-ball ticks the scoreboard over before the south African draws a play and miss, narrowly missing the outside edge.

    An all-action first over for Potgieter.

    Delano Potgieter is first change for Hampshire, replacing Sonny Baker at the Vauxhall End.

    His first-ball is cracked to the long leg boundary for four by Rory Burns...

    BUT BURNS HAS GONE NOW.

    What a ball this is, Burns comes forward in defence at one on a length on off-stump but Potgieter thunders it through the gap to send off-stump cart-wheeling away.

    Will Jacks comes in at three in his first red-ball appearance of the summer.

    Surrey 23-0 v Hampshire

    Toby Albert races away to save a run as Rory Burns edges one past third slip off the shoulder of the bat from Kyle Abbott to run three and take the skipper into double figures.

    Abbott responds by shaping one away to beat the edge of Dom Sibley's bat and those three are the only runs of the over.

    This is a very different looking Surrey side for this match.

    Dan Lawrence is down at three, Sam Curran, Tom Curran, Jordan Clark, Reece Topley.

    Surrey 20-0 v Hampshire

    Rory Burns drives the first ball of Sonny Baker's fourth over, which the bowler gets a hand to but can't prevent the single.

    Leg-slip in for Dom Sibley, while Baker rubs another handful of sawdust into his foot mark at the Vauxhall End.

    Sibley shows great timing to clip the next ball, a rather straight one, through the leg side for the first boundary of the day.

    Good recovery from Baker who prompts back-foot defence from Sibley before he flashes a drive at the final ball edging towards Jake Lehmann falling to his right at third slip... did it carry... maybe just about. Hard chance either way.

    Surrey 15-0 v Hampshire

    After Rory Burns picks up a single to rotate strike Kyle Abbott produces a beauty to draw Dom Sibley forward and beats the outside edge, with Ben Brown again claiming above his head.

    Seven overs in the opening half-hour and it's all pretty calm, considering the conditions and this track.

    Good delivery from Sonny Baker who gets one to straighten up and rise at Rory Burns who shoulders arms just in time.

    Not sure we've seen a drive attempted in the first five overs.

    Burns has waited long enough and picks up a couple with a push, before a very ambitious appeal from Baker as Burns tries to flick into the leg side.

    Burns finishes the over with a clip to fine leg for a single to keep strike for the seventh over.
