Cook dinner was straight into the assault when he appeared on the pitch an hour after a begin delayed after lunch – and wanted simply 10 deliveries to announce his arrival.
Former England opener Dom Sibley was all at sea as he nicked from an preliminary six-over Cook dinner burst containing 4 maidens and simply eight runs conceded.
It was a tad unlucky for the withdrawn Charlie Bennett, who had constructed up a head of steam within the three overs he managed to squeeze in earlier than his departure.
Surrey had already misplaced Rory Burns by the point of Cook dinner’s entrance, lbw to at least one from Jamie Porter that jagged into his again pad, and have been quickly to lose Josh Blake, caught at second slip aiming a drive by means of the covers.

Pope needed to sit padded up for 17 overs earlier than he strode to the wicket as Adam Thomas and Mahipal Lomror placed on 52 for the fifth wicket.
However to the primary ball after tea, Lomror turned Cook dinner to sq. leg, took one comfy run and wished a second that Thomas patently didn’t – and a relay of throws from Ahkter to Michael Pepper to the non-striker’s finish accomplished the reckless run-out.
Thomas adopted virtually instantly, enjoying loosely at Cook dinner to 3rd slip. Pope performed throughout a supply from Akhter that stored low and Fisher performed the identical bowler airily to mid-on. Rahul Chahar turned Cook dinner’s third sufferer, chipping one other catch to Westley, and Tom Lawes was the final of Akhter’s trio after a battling 38 with eight fours.
