A STUNNING finish at Beckenham saw Surrey tie with The Blaze in the Metro Bank Cup, after Dani Gregory scrambled a single off the last ball.

Georgia Elwiss, who top-scored with 82 and took 3 for 35, looked to have handed the visitors victory but a superb 125 by Alice Capsey dragged Surrey back from the brink.

When Capsey was out, Surrey’s last wicket duo of Alexa Stonehouse and Gregory needed 40 from 29 balls. They got the target down to nine off the last over and two off the last ball but with the number 11 Gregory on strike they could only manage one, leaving both sides unsure if they should laugh or weep.

The visitors had dominated after being put in, with Amy Jones hitting 80 and Kathryn Bryce 56.Dani Gregory had Surrey’s best figures with three for 66.

Surrey got Tammy Beaumont for just 8, when she pulled Alexa Stonehouse straight to Ryana MacDonald Gay at backward square, they struggled to contain Jones and Kathryn Bryce.

They put on 113 for the second wicket and Jones looked poised for a century until Gregory had her caught behind.

Kathryn Bryce also looked well set until she missed a straight one from MacDonald-Gay and was bowled middle stump.

Sarah Bryce had made 34 when she edged Alexa Stonehouse and Chathli took a sharp one-handed catch.
