That will be lunch...

Kyle Abbott finds the edge of Dom Sibley's bat again but his soft hands means it drops a yard or so shy of first slip.

Abbott beats the outside edge by an inch from the next ball and Sibley learns his lesson and swishes the bat out of the way late from the next ball, only to be drawn forward to the last and see the ball whistle past the edge once again.

Good sprawling stop in the covers from Nick Gubbins to save at least a couple of runs for Dan Lawrence as James Fuller begins the 26th over, which is a maiden.

Kyle Abbott returns but Dan Lawrence drives his first ball off a thick outside edge, over the top of backward point and to the rope for four.

The kind of shot which will give Hampshire hope, rather than dismay, in truth.

A couple of balls later Abbott flings out a big left paw to take the sting off a firm drive and looks to the heavens as his face contorts in discomfort. No amount of shaking is going to improve that for a few minutes, sadly, Kyle. He'll need a check-up at lunchtime, that's for sure. He might have done some damage to his non-bowling hand, there.

Lawrence tickles one off his hip to fine leg for another single.

Great stuff from James Fuller who beats the edge of Dom Sibley's bat twice in three balls, the second was an absolute ripper, the stuff of nightmares for a batter.

Another ball gets some extra bounce and thumps Sibley in an eye-watering place.

A maiden over, somehow.

10 minutes until lunch.

Dan Lawrence edges away to fine leg for a single off Kyle Abbott and Surrey are 80-2 after 23 overs.

Meanwhile his Surrey teammate Gus Atkinson has finished with a fivefer as England have beaten New Zealand over at Lord's.

Wonder how many punters will head across town to take in some more red ball cricket at The Oval this afternoon?

Dan Lawrence slightly mistimes a drive but picks up a single off James Fuller to backward square to move to 9* with Dom Sibley returning to strike on 34* and looking very fluent indeed in these testing conditions.

Kyle Abbott is coming back into the attack to ask him some more questions, however...

Is anyone better at timing it through the leg side than Dom Sibley?

Another straight delivery from Sonny Baker and Sibley times it supremely past mid-wicket all the way to the rope for his sixth boundary.

A less convincing leg-side clip yields a single and brings Dan Lawrence back onto strike.

Baker slings one in outside off which takes off and swings away from Ben Brown who saves four byes with a flying stop, but Lawrence pulls the fifth ball of the over neatly to fine leg for his second boundary.

James Fuller replaces Delano Potgieter in the attack from the Vauxhall End on his second Championship start of the season.

Dom Sibley leans on the fourth delivery and guides it past the slips to the the third man boundary for his first boundary which wasn't square on the leg side.

He then keeps strike with a single to move on to 29*.

Sonny Baker strays onto Dom Sibley's legs again and is punished, again, with a clip to long leg for Sibley's fourth leg-side boundary of the morning.

Baker recovers and Sibley is forced to dig out a yorker on middle stump from the fifth delivery, but Sibley daps a single to mid-on to keep strike and move onto 24*.

Dan Lawrence is oozing confidence, averaging 57 in the Championship and fresh from an unbeaten 94 on this ground on friday night and drives his first ball from Delano Potgieter, which is blocked in the covers.

No run there but there are four of them from the second ball, in very similar fashion, just leaning on an overpitched one and sending it to the fence.

Surrey 51-1 v Hampshire

Don't stray onto Dom Sibley's pads, surely rule 1A of County Championship bowling.

Sonny Baker hasn't read it and is clipped crisply to deep square for Sibley's third boundary of the morning, all in identical fashion.

Baker does it again from his fourth delivery but Sibley can't connect and Ben Brown can't claim it diving to his left and it races away for four byes, and the ball has gone missing under some covers.

Three players are needed to recover it, and it takes a good couple of minutes.

Delano Potgieter looks sharp.

He concedes a single to Dom Sibley but finds the edge of Will Jacks' bat with the edge dropping a foot short of second slip.

Jacks actually played that pretty well.

The South African beats the outside edge again before the over is out.

16 overs done. Slow going from the hosts, but understandably so after being put in in these conditions.

Kyle Abbott gets a breather after seven overs and Sonny Baker returns to the attack from the Pavilion End.

We'll see whether he needs sawdust at that end too.

His second ball is left by Will Jacks but nips back to beat the outside of off-stump by a whisker.

The fourth ball draws a play and miss past the outside edge.

Baker is on the money and is getting some extra bounce.

And here comes the sawdust.

Baker's first maiden over of the morning.

Delano Potgieter sends down a maiden for the 14th over of the morning with Dom Sibley on 13* and Will Jacks on 9*.

Hampshire coach Russell Domingo told me before the game he's never seen a wicket with so much grass on it for a First Class game, but we've only seen one wicket in the opening hour, you'd have thought we'd see one or two more.

The pitch has done a bit but not as much as you might have expected.

Lovely stuff from Kyle Abbott who beats Will Jacks all ends up with his first delivery of his seventh over.

He's been a sensation in the county game since he popped up at Southampton NINE years ago. Goodness me where does time go?

Abbott has it on a string until he strays onto the pads from the fifth ball and Jacks slips it away to the fine leg fence for four runs, the only scoring shot from Abbott's past two overs.

Will Jacks picks up a single into the leg side off the second ball of Delano Potgieter's second over.

He's got his length right from the off, and has the only breakthrough so far, on a lime green track and in conditions which you'd think would favour the bowlers.

Kiss of death, sorry Hants fans, his final ball is slung down the leg side and Dom Sibley needs no invitation to crack it sweetly to the deep square rope to move to 13*.

Dom Sibley lets one go in flamboyant fashion but Kyle Abbott's delivery thumps him on the back thigh as he shoulders arms and dribbles through to the slips.

The final ball also hits Sibley amidships before rolling away.

It's the first maiden over of the match at the 11th attempt.
