Another century for Mayank Agarwal (112) for India A, this time v the Lions. 246/4, seven overs left.
For some reason the Surrey twitter feed isn’t showing Mark Stoneman’s wicket.

LUNCHTIME SCORES
Division One
Scarborough: Yorkshire 342 (Tattersall 70; Dernbach 4-104) v Surrey 89-2 (Burns 54 not out)
Old Trafford: Lancashire v Hampshire 398-8 (Rossouw 95 not out; Onions 5-78)
Division Two
Sophia Gardens: Glamorgan 115-3 ( Khawaja 26 not out; Procter 2-13 ) v Northamptonshire 281 (Wakely 82; van der Gugten 5-45)
Super think-piece by Andy Bull on Steve Smith in this week’s Spin. It mentions this piece on Smith by Jane Cadzow that was published in the Sydney Morning Herald. I haven’t read it yet but have heard several people say that it is wonderful. One for the lunch break.
Glamorgan 95.3 but the Heroes Of Swansea, Khawaja and Carlson, the not out men.
A second wicket at Scarborough - Borthwick c Tattersall b Bresnan 20. But Burns still there, 51 off 46 balls.
Updated
Berg out, sweeping, caught by Danny Lamb running in for 49. He’d just been moved into position the ball before. Hampshire 390 for 8.
Thank goodness, it looks like he’s ok, they’ve picked him up off the concrete and the medical team have arrived.
Meanwhile, almost seamlessly, the runs are piling up for Hampshire - 386 for 7, Rossouw moves on to 92, Berg to 45.
Burns has whizzed to 40 at Scarborough. Forty-four of the first fifty Surrey runs have come in boundaries.
Someone in the crowd has collapsed here at OT. The heat is fierce.
Naughty-boy nets for Surrey.
Yorkshire CCC (@YorkshireCCC)Little boost for @YorkshireCCC. They have been awarded five penalty runs for two Surrey offences, one in the field and other Stoneman's reaction to being given out. 337 all out becomes 342. @surreycricket are 59-1 in reply. #YourYorkshire

Hmmm. Ms Luck pauses to kill a passing fly with a single swat then laughs in the face of kindness. Stoneman c Tattersall b Coad 9.
A Rob Smyth special on Jos Buttler: ““You guys always write about what a quietly spoken and soft guy I am,” he said after an on-field row in Bangladesh in 2016, “but maybe you don’t know me as well as you think you do.”
Just noticed that Stoneman is back for Surrey. As for Lees, as for Hameed, as for Westley, the capricious hand of Ms Luck has not been kind this year. Wish him luck BTLers, wish him luck.

Yorkies 337 for 9 including, thank you Lilaitomniweotawicha BTL, a dropped caught and bowled from Morkel. Patterson b Dernbach for 21. JD:4-104.
And a wicket at Sophia Gardens - Nick Selman for 29. Glamorgan 44/1.
And looking for photographic evidence that I can put up but Graham Onions DID bowl in his underpants this morning while the teams warmed-up in the middle. They were more swimming shorts than budgie-smugglers but the boy kept his word.
Updated
A WICKET! At OT. Rayner lbw to the 22nd ball of the day for a duck. He played across one that was angled in from Onions. And that’s Onions 5-fer - 5-65 and well deserved. His second five-fer of the season.
Good morning
To everyone both lurking and commenting BTL, thank you for reading CC live! It is Day 2, and the biggest talking point is the behaviour of the pink ball.
The consensus seems to be that the Division One pink Kookaburra produces snoreathon cricket with the ball difficult to get off the square. The Division Two Dukes is pretty safe but can go briefly insane, with big-banana swing when the floodlights go on. Thus:
Div 1: Worcestershire used eight bowlers as Notts closed on 336 for 5 at Trent Bridge and Somerset seven as Essex closed on 298 for 4 at Chelmsford. Read Dan Norcross’s thoughts here.
At Canterbury, Middlesex were 54 for 9 at 9.50pm stumps after starting their innings at 8pm. Derbyshire lost four wickets for 14 at The County Ground before Leicester made a good start to their innings: 82-0. Jonathan Trott held Warwickshire’s innings together at The Riverside, not out 119.
In the red-ball games: a sea fret is threatening to delay play at Scarborough where a spirited late-evening partnership rescued Yorkshire from the doldrums. At Old Trafford Essex are just on top on another scorching day; Glamorgan start with the upper hand at Sophia Gardens after Northamptonshire lost five wickets for six runs, four to the mighty Timm van der Gugten.
Between the salt water and the sea strand, we’ll have lots-to-talk-about by the end of the day.
