Somerset vs Surrey Pitch Report

The pitch at the Cooper Associates County Ground tends to remain flat and firm throughout the course of the game. Runscoring is not too difficult on this track as there is very little in it for the bowlers, who are bound to have a hard time containing the flow of runs.
