Surrey fans will be watching anxiously on Sunday to see what happens in the Metro Bank One Day Cup's penultimate round.

Rory Burns' team are not playing, of course. They are licking their wounds after a chastening 188-run defeat against Somerset at Taunton.

Their last Group A match, against Notts Outlaws at the Kia Oval on Tuesday (August 11) and likely to attract another bumper crowd, could still give Surrey a chance of squeezing into the knockout stage.

But it is the results of Sunday's games that may well decide Surrey's fate after a 50-over campaign that has been hugely to the credit of a side given little chance of success in the competition. Conceivably, looking at the fixtures to come, all the present top six teams could finish on 20 points - though that, of course, is highly unlikely.
