Yorkshire won the toss and decided to bowl. England star Matthew Hoggard then trapped Ian Ward LBW for 2. Things did not get better for the lions as they were reduced to 50 for 3. But 63 from inform Mark Ramprakash helped Surrey reach 173 for 8. There was a short rain break, which meant that the Surrey innings was reduced to 48 overs.

He also hit 33 of two overs from Ed Giddens. Yorkshire then reached their target off just 24.1 without losing a wicket. Matthew Wood also hit 57 not out.
