The brown caps bossed the game at the Oval but as usual for this time of year the weather dashed any chance they had of claiming a win and the match ended in the inevitable draw.
Batsman Mark Ramprakash once again asked the question why he still isn’t involved in the England set up with yet another century. Another former England player Mark Butcher was joined by debutante Usman Afzaal in reaching three figures as the London based side dominated their opponents.
It wasn’t all bad news for the roses though as Andrew Flintoff returned to action with both bat and ball and took a wicket in his first spell back in county cricket since his ankle operations. He finished the pick of the bowlers with figures of 1/72 as Surrey closed their first innings on 527/5.
In reply Surrey had Lancs on the rack reducing the visitors to 241/6 with opener Paul Horten offering some residence, out for 59, before the weather called time on the match.
In fact only one game in division one made it to a finish with Nottinghamshire recording maximum points beating Kent by 10 wickets. Elsewhere Murray Goodwin picked up where he left off last season in fine scoring form making a century in Sussex?s draw with Hampshire.
