Surrey 354 for 6 (Burns 88, Sangakkara 67, Davies 59, Sibley 56) lead Lancashire 287 (Clark 56, S Curran 4-61) by 83 runsScorecard Where Steven Davies plays his cricket next season is unknown. He is out of contract at Surrey, and, retaining England ambitions, wants to regain the gloves. Thanks to the emergence of Ben Foakes, he will not get to do that at Surrey anytime soon, but several counties, including Somerset, would give much for a keeper of his batting prowess.On this sweltering day at The Oval - much of a hearty crowd spent the day moving to avoid the sun, inverting a county cricket tradition of fans congregating under any rays of sunshine, real or imaged - Surrey had cause to thank that, for now, Davies remains all theirs.His pristine late cut, gliding the ball precisely through backward point, must register as one of the most delightful shots in the county game. A threaded drive through point off Simon Kerrigan, in between two men placed to stop just such a shot was followed, in the next over, by a sumptuous flick through midwicket off Arron Lilley; the outcome of both deliveries belied a lack of discernible effort from the batsman as they raced across the boundary. Each was a triumph of timing and grace over power.It says everything of Davies that, in this form, he was not the lesser stylist in his partnership with Kumar Sangakkara. The most notable contrast between the two was in intent: Davies fine half-century arrived in 96 balls, while Sangakkaras took just 47. Their partnership of 77 in 17.5 overs - a product of sharp running as well as clean hitting - imbued new impetus into Surreys innings until Sangakkara scythed Nathan Buck to gully, where he was neatly taken by Haseeb Hameed.Davies, though, seemed hell-bent on returning the following morning, leaving the ball judiciously in between caressing the ball through the offside. He had made 59 fine runs when, to his evident consternation, a slog sweep picked out midwicket in the last throes of the day. It embodied a season in which he has provided wondrous shot-making, and yet is still averaging under 40 in Championship cricket.His disappointment at squandering a chance to make a match-defining innings was shared by several in the Surrey dressing room: not just Sangakkara, but also the openers Rory Burns and Dominic Sibley. Batting with great diligence and an austere mood out of sync with the sunshine, they extended their overnight partnership to 160 before both fell in consecutive overs to a zesty spell from Kyle Jarvis: Sibley played on; Burns cut aberrantly outside offstump, just when he appeared set on a second century, and 1,000 runs, in the Championship summer.The upshot is that, while Surrey have a dominant position, it is not quite the impregnable one they had threatened to build. For that Lancashires perseverance should be lauded. If their attack lacks an incisive streak, they are not short of tenacity. And, with two spinners in their ranks, they might feel that a final day target of 250 or so could imperil Surrey. Should either county have a positive result to toast, it will effectively ensure that they do not return to Division Two in 2017.Three years and three days after his only Test match was ruined by Shane Watson at this same ground, Simon Kerrigan again recorded figures of 0 for 53; this time, though, off 20 overs rather than eight. Sangakkara had briefly revived these memories, by driving Kerrigan through long-off for four, and then sauntering down the wicket and flicking him over long-on for six, in consecutive balls, but this was mostly a day of steadfast accumulation, not high-summer madness.Cheap Jordan Shoes China .

It was like, `When are we going to do this again?Garrett ORourke, racing manager for Juddmonte Farms, said Arrogate will definitely race next year. But no future plans were announced.California Chrome is likely to run once more before being retired. Trainer Art Sherman has indicated that would be in the inaugural Pegasus World Cup at Gulfstream in Florida on Jan. 28.Maybe well get another chance (against Arrogate) before Chrome retires, Sherman said. I hope wed be able to run him at least one more time before then. Well have to wait and see.Sherman is a former jockey who indicated he would have ridden California Chrome differently than Victor Espinoza, who had the horse cruising along on the lead for much of the 1 1/4-mile race. Sherman said he would have urged on California Chrome at the quarter pole to try and make his lead even larger.I know he rides this horse with great confidence and we might have been caught anyway, but I think youve just got to go for it and open up as much as you can and make them try to catch you, Sherman said. You hope the finish line just comes up first. I know he had plenty of horse at the top of the stretch, so that tells you how good the winner was.Espinoza appeared to second-guess himself immediatelyy after the race.ddddddddddddMaybe I should have opened it up a little bit early, he said.Mike Smith had Arrogate in third place, directly behind Melatonin, when they took aim on California Chrome. Espinoza kept peeking behind him to track his rivals as he led on the final turn.Anticipating a challenge, Espinoza looked to his left, then right, and back again just as Smith took Arrogate to the outside.Mike said that when he went outside, he could hear Victor say `Damn it, Baffert said. Then when Mike went to the right hand (whip), Arrogate got on his right lead and took off like a rocket.Sherman said California Chrome came out of the race well and that his loss only proved its difficult to win every race.You cant cry over what happens, the 79-year-old trainer said.Game notesBeholders nose victory over Songbird in the Distaff made her the second horse to win three Cup races, joining Goldikova who won the Mile from 2008-10.
