Patel doesn’t get the new ball: Morkel and Dernbach. Patel’s 6 for 5 is the best spell at Guildford since 2003.
So Renshaw and Byrom head off to go again. Will Patel take the new ball?
Meanwhile Higgins and Roderick battling bravely in Gloucestershire’s second innings – partnership of 68, though they still need 80 to avoid an innings defeat.
Surrey’s players having a little pep talk outside the shiny new pavilion: seems they’ll enforce the follow-on. Ryan Patel, who looked terribly bashful leading the Surrey players off the field with a little waft of his cap, sips from a bottle of water.
Here’s Ryan Patel’s wicket flurry. Hang on – that’s his sixth! Leach lbw for 0. Patel 6 for 5 in 3.5 overs !!!!!! Surrey lead by 279. Morkel 12 overs 0 for 39. Funny old game.

And Jack Leach gets clonked on the head by Morne Morkel, a bit of plastic flies off his helmet near his ear. He’s ok though, and he is brought a new helmet out. Interesting come-back match..
Here’s the deamon bowler:

Prior to today, 20 year old Ryan Patel had taken only two Championship wickets in his 8 games.
…Leach survived, but Somerset are in deep trouble -174 for 9 still trailing by 285. Young Patel doesn’t even bowl regularly for his club side.
BLimey, I was trying to put a picture up and whilst I failed to do that wickets have been tumbling, tumbling, tumbling at Guildford. Four wickets for four runs in 9 balls. Davies lbw to Patel, then Josh Davey, caught at second slip also off Patel. And another! Groenewald lbw Patel who now has five wickets for four runs in 11 balls. On a hat-trick…
Somerset stoop to stutter: Gregory c Borthwick for 4. 173 for 6 in what could be the Championship decider. Patel took two wickets in that over. Bess, walking out, has much to do.
And Worcestershire bat on… and on…. and on… 318 for 1, lead 435. Mitchell 150 in just 199 balls.
Byrom out lbw to Ryan Patel, not playing a shot, for 52, just short of his highest first-class score for Somerset in the Championship. He looks down at the ground all the way as he walks off – must have been dreaming of a hundred. Keep dreaming, kid, it will come.
Jacks at short leg, is whacked on the helmet by Byrom. He seems ok, but the players take the opportunity to sup drinks on yet another gorgeous afternoon. And he’s got the helmet on again, and play continues.
Gloucester, Gloucester: 72 for 5. Van Buuren gets his second duck of the day. Brett Hutton 4 for 7.
Sorry about the delay, quick roundup: Gloucestershire wobbly at 69 for 3. And Denly made his hundred I see. Well played! 107 not out. Will Smith 68 not out on the red carpet at Arundel; a good second-fiddle by his captain, Collingwood, 34 not out.
And no repeat glories for Vince against Yorkshire: out for 35. Essex have collapsed to 187 for 9. Bopara bowled for 69.
Here at Guildford, four days after his 21st birthday, Eddie Byrom gets the second fifty of his career with a single into the off side. Slow like, 134 balls, but hey, they all count.
Stirling out for 52, Middlesex 147 for 4. Malan still there, 45 not out.
Dickson out for a masterful 133: Kent 261 for 3, lead Warwicks by 333. Denly 95 not out – what a game for him.
And Abell walks off at Guildford, caught Pope for 26 – Clarke’s fourth! Somerset stumbling now 117 for four.
The wickets just don’t stop tumbling. Essex now 130 for 7, Coles lbw for 4 to Fletcher, again. Bopara still there, 55 not out. Gloucester, dear god, now 42 for 2, still need 178 to avoid an innings defeat.

Bopara’s made a tasty fifty as Essex crumble about him: 125 for 5. Three wickets for the hardworking Luke Fletcher
Howell is caught behind off Kleinveldt to end the session: 23 for 1 following on. Just the 10 Gloucester wickets to fall in the session then.
And Daryll Mitchell moves to his second century of the match! Well played that man. It’s the fourth time Mitchell has scored two hundreds in an innings for Worcs, equalling the number achieved by Graeme Hick.
Gloucestershire making a better stab of their second innings: 22 for 0.
And a hundred for Dickson rubbing it in against Warwickshire. He and Denly have now put on 166.
And Lancashire take a wicket: Guptill out for 111.
Yorkshire have an early wicket against Hampshire , Adams for 16. Which brings in Vince, in princely-form.
And Martin Guptill moves to his maiden hundred for Worcestershire. Worcs 203 without loss and a tasty lead building over Lancs.
Worcestershire CCC
(@WorcsCCC)Worcestershire 202/0: Guptill 100 off 97 balls
June 21, 2018
Seven of the top 12 batsman in Division One (by average) are playing at Guildford.
Somerset on the skids now: 63 for 3. Hildrith squared up, trying to leg glance and caught at cover point off Rikki Clarke, against his very favourite team (best bowling and best batting performances have come against Somerset)
Gloucestershire 62 all out! And 0 for 0 following on…
At the Ageas, Yorkshire all out for 350, which was a fine waggle from 21 for 3. Steyn 5 for 66. And at Tunbridge Wells the 20-wicket wormhole of yesterday has disappeared and Kent are now 178 for 2 with Dickson nearing a century and Denly on his second fifty of the match.
Cripes, Worcestershire are whizzing along at New Road. Mitchell and Guptill both scoring at just about a run-a-ball.
And another wicket here at Guildford: Bartlett lbw to one that kept a bit low from Clarke for a duck. 57 for 2.
