Ben Foakes Secures London Derby Spoils After Surrey Spinners Strangle Middlesex

Ben Foakes and Jamie Smith put together a high-quality, unbroken 93-run stand as Surrey beat Middlesex’s London rivals six times in an otherwise unusually low-scoring affair at The Oval to take second place in Vitality Blast’s South Group. Foakes made 60 not out and Smith an undefeated 38 in a cool and secure fifth-wicket partnership to guide Surrey past Middlesex 113 for 9 with 11 balls to spare in the end.
