Surrey reach 182/5 before bad light ends play at The Kia Oval

Sir Bruce Forsyth may have announced on Friday that he is standing down from presenting BBC TV's Strictly Come Dancing, but Mark Wallace is still behind the stumps for Glamorgan, with it very much being a case of Keep Playing as the Welsh county's captain led out his side in his 200th consecutive County Championship appearance after winning the toss and electing to bowl first in the dank conditions.

Michael Hogan duly took the new ball with Graham Wagg as Graeme Smith and Rory Burns opened the batting for Surrey and it was the former South African skipper who struck the day's first boundaries as he clipped Hogan both behind - and in front of - square-leg in his second over. Smith also edged Hogan just in front of third slip before clipping the next delivery to the mid-wicket boundary.

Burns also cover drove Wagg for four before Jim Allenby replaced Hogan at the Vauxhall End and beat the outside edge of Smith's bat in his second over shortly before the floodlights came on to augment the natural light as another bank of thick cloud built up over the Kennington area. It was Allenby who duly made the breakthrough as with the final ball of his third over he trapped Burns leg before.

Six balls later 34/1 became 34/2 as Dominic Sibley edged Allenby into Wallace's gloves, and next ball Wagg trapped Smith leg before - his 300th wicket in first-class cricket - as Glamorgan claimed their first bowling point after an hour's play with Surrey nose-diving to 34/3. Six runs later Allenby nearly struck again but an edge from Steven Davies' bat just dropped short of Stewart Walters at second slip. Another edge from Davies flew over the head of the slip cordon before Hogan switched to the Pavilion End.

Having reduced Surrey to 57/3 at lunch, Glamorgan resumed the afternoon session with Michael Hogan in tandem with Jim Allenby as the Welsh county pressed for further wickets and bonus points. Zafar Ansari struck the afternoon's first boundary as he crisply off-drove Allenby before Steven Davies despatched Hogan through the covers.

Ruadhri Smith then returned to the attack and nearly had Davies caught at second slip by Stewart Walters but the ball just evaded the outstretched fingers of the fielder. Mark Wallace also dropped a sharp chance in Hogan's next over as Ansari edged the Australian into and then out of the wicket-keeper's gloves. Davies also carved Smith high over the head of backward point for four before Wagg returned at the Pavilion End and was pulled to the boundary ropes by Ansari.

With the floodlights still on, Davies brought up the hundred by despatching Smith to mid-wicket, followed two overs later by a sparkling square drive through the off-side. Shortly afterwards, the obdurate Ansari edged Wagg just in front of the slip cordon before Davies completed his fifty from 100 deliveries by forcing Allenby through the covers.

Dean Cosker's spin was introduced after 49 overs as the fourth wicket pair continued to consolidate with their century stand coming up after two and a half hours of watchful application

Resuming on 135/3 after tea and the loss of one over to bad light, Zafar Ansari swatted Michael Hogan through backward point for four before Steven Davies did the same to Graham Wagg. Both bowlers though beat the outside edge during a waspish spell and in the tenth over of the session Mark Wallace took a fine catch, diving one-handed low to his left to end Davies' innings as Hogan ended their 50-over stand which had added 122 runs.

Five balls later, 156/4 became 158/5 as Hogan struck again with Gary Wilson shouldering arms and departing l.b.w. With Jason Roy as his new partner, Ansari unleashed a coruscating cover drive en route to a 183 -ball fifty, before the umpires brought the plays off because of the deteriorating light. It started to rain soon afterwards and play was called off shortly before 6pm.
