Ryan Patel celebrates his century against Glamorgan

Glamorgan beat Surrey despite Ryan Patel Century

Set an improbable 621 to beat Glamorgan , Surrey were on course to set a world record thanks to a magnificent century from Ryan Patel. But when he fell on the stroke of lunch, followed by Dan Lawrence it was all about Surrey surviving until stumps which they were ultimately not able to do as Glamorgan won by 184 runs

Ryan Patel’s masterful 132 kept Surrey’s hopes alive in the morning session of reaching an improbable 612, which would have been a World Record run chase in a first-class game. Alongside Ollie Pope, Patel looked in wonderful touch as they extended their partnership from its overnight 122 to 168 until Pope was caught behind off Zain ul Hasan for 75.

Patel moved to his first championship century of the summer and at the other end Dan Lawrence hardly broke sweat as he started caressing the ball around the Kia Oval. But on the stroke off lunch Mir Hamza found Patel’s outside edge and Ben Kellaway took a terrific catch at backward point.
