Not out

But 11 nail-biting balls later, he pushed the ball through the infield for four, and Surrey won by one wicket to the, to the joy of most of the crowd.

But Josh Blake was the hero of the hour with 43 not out off 183 balls, and it was his p- persistence and patience that just about held Surrey together and saw them over the line.

Unbelievable.

It is unbelievable.

The, the rear guard action to save the game at Trent Bridge was impressive.

Uh, not a lot of fun for the Notts fans who were, uh, obviously wanting and needing that win to, um, uh, to, to, to strengthen their, their hold of the title.

But yeah, it's incredibly tight down there, so Surrey are not out of it.

I honestly think had we lost, and we were one ball away from losing, you know, the, that, the, you know, the, that, uh, that last nervous f- few overs could've easily gone the other way.

Welcome to the 98 Not Out podcast.

A busy one this week, with a lot going on in the world of cricket.

We now know the finalists for the Metro Bank One Day Cup final, so we've got the very super excited Oliver Hawk telling us about Leicestershire's progress, and, uh, David Wright was at Radlett to see Middlesex progress.

So Durham won the toss and batted first.

I thought Middlesex did well to restrict them to 254 for 7.

Will Rhodes top scored with 80 not out, Colin Ackermann 72 not out.

Two very, very good players there.

Pick of the Middlesex bowlers was Pakistani spinner Zafar Gouhar with two for 39, including the prized wicket of Ben Stokes, who he got out for six.

... would be a great documentary.

I'd call that 52 Not Out.

[laughs]

Uh, Ben Cousin's late night run.
