Yorkshire v Surrey: Yorkshire's thoughts turn to avoiding drop after Scarborough setback
SO ended an eventful match in which champions-elect Surrey stretched their lead at the top of the table with a seven-wicket win, thereby effectively ending the challenge of Yorkshire, whose priority now is to avoid relegation.
It was an interesting match, a match of good performances and also imperfections on both sides before Surrey’s superior strength shone through in the end.
It was also a match with unpleasant undertones with a secondary narrative of poor behaviour on-and-off the field.
