The Cricketer looks at the main talking points from the Men's T20 Blast match between Surrey and Hampshire at the Kia Oval
Hampshire's Scott Currie has enjoyed an interesting journey over the last couple of seasons. Last season was spent entirely on loan at Leicestershire, and he missed the entire first block of County Championship matches this season with a knee injury.
The T20 Blast has marked his return, and he followed up his 3 for 20 against Essex with a match-winning 2 for 17 from his four overs in this match against Surrey.
He delivered 11 dot balls and conceded just one boundary to help limit the hosts to just 141 from their innings.
The Scotland international mixed his pace up to get Ollie Pope caught behind on the ramp with a quicker delivery and entice Chris Jordan to chip a slower ball into the deep.
To complete a stellar effort in the field, he took a smart catch to dismiss the dangerous Ollie Sykes for just one as the hosts looked to add some late fireworks.

Despite Surrey's defeat by 15 runs, via the DLS method, it was a milestone evening for one of Kia Oval's greatest T20 players.
Jason Roy became the first batter in the club's history to reach 4,000 T20 runs, which he managed during his top score of 37 off 33 balls.

His innings, while it proved in vain, was another example of Surrey's reliance on the former England opener.
He has also top-scored in both the previous two matches as well, with 92 against Somerset in the opener at Taunton and 62 in a winning cause at Cardiff against Glamorgan. In those matches, he made just under 55 per cent of the team's runs as they failed to reach 150 both times.

This season marks Sam Curran's first as Surrey's T20 captain, and as the No.4 batter, there is plenty of responsibility on his shoulders.
So when he came to the crease with his team coasting at 51 for 2, he needed to add some impetus. He was forced to bide his time with the bat before launching back-to-back sixes against John Turner.
The first of which caused a five-minute delay to proceedings as it went into the stands and through the walkway and into the concourse. A gentleman was forced to run from his seat and retrieve it, which, when completed, was met with rapturous applause from the crowd.
The left-handed batter liked the first one so much that he went against, but this time it landed safely, for the game to continue almost immediately.
Unfortunately, for his team and the crowd, he fell on the next ball for 34, trying to make it three on the bounce.
