Getting bowled-out with seven overs to spare, on a good wicket, having put Surrey in, says it all really. I'm not sure we're better chasing totals down, given the last two results, but it seemed reasonable to put Surrey in with humid and cloudy conditions. Clearly, we missed Varun Chopra, but our game management when batting is inadequate. With Bopara and Lawrence at the crease, we looked comfortable and heading for victory, but a poor shot selection by Bopara (attempting to cut a straight ball) and Dan Laurence getting caught soon after, meant we were never in the game again with wickets falling rapidly. We will have to have a much firmer mindset to get a win at Taunton and get our campaign back on track.

Why was Chopra not playing ?

Having twice won the toss,we elected to bowl first on good tracks??????
