Surrey Lions made 260 for 8 at the Oval, and still lost. The men from batting from one to four all passed 35, but no one made fifty, and a quickfire 29 from spinner Nayan Doshi which led to a defendable total of 260 for 8. However, Steve Stubbings and Michael di Venuto took 27 boundaries together, including two sixes from Stubbings, and the boundaries were worth 112 of the two's 196 runs. To add to that, Surrey bowled 24 extras, so the stand between di Venuto and Stubbings had yielded 217 runs before Mohammad Akram broke through their defences, as both were dismissed two runs short of a century. Their number three, Jonathan Moss made 22 not out to guide Derbyshire Phantoms to a total of 264 for 5 with nearly six overs remaining.
