Good start by Glamorgan against the league leaders. Can Mark Butcher steady Surrey?

The match will be a draw though I think. Surrey are only 200 ahead, and the pitch looks too good to bowl Glamorgan out a second time. But we'll take the 8 points.
Rather disappointing that Surrey didn't declare earlier. After what happened against Worcester, I could understand Butcher being cautious, but he could have declared an hour earlier. 387 off 40 overs was a joke. 340 off 55 might have got Glamorgan interested.
