The Cricketer picks out some important talking points as Surrey host Somerset in the T20 Blast
Somerset looked to be making good headway on 94 for 4 in the 12th over, rotating the strike and taking few risks after losing Tom Abell and Tom Banton.
But Sunil Narine can make even the calmest performers do silly things.
From the third delivery of another frugal over, Tom Lammonby worked the ball off his hip into the gap.
Lewis Gregory set off immediately, sprinting to the opposite end only to pull up suddenly and leave his partner in the middle of the pitch.
Jamie Clark showed poise to leave his position behind the stump, pick up the ball, choose the right end and dismantle the stumps.
It sparked a collapse, as four wickets fell for nine runs to hold up the Somerset innings.

I'm starting to sound like a broken record in this Surrey T20 campaign, but Chris Jordan was inspired during the Somerset innings.
Somerset threatened to get away after a good powerplay and start from Tom Banton, who top-scored with 39, when Jordan Clark pulled up with a side injury.
But Jordan used all of his experience. Conor McKerr came on to bowl the remainder of the over and Surrey kept things tight and took wickets at regular intervals.
England's second-highest T20I wicket-taker led from the front with an inspired 15th over, a wicket maiden which saw him frustrate and then dismiss Ben Green while exhibiting all of his skill and variations.

Following talks last week, Surrey eventually decided to go ahead with tonight's fixture against the backdrop of strikes on the train and tube network in London.
Though the option to move the game was available, the tight fixture congestion - both are in action on Thursday (June 24) and Somerset play again the following day - meant it was never really a realistic outcome.
The luxury of being in a densely-populated area in south London meant Surrey could put the game on and allow the locals to flock.
You feel for the Somerset fans who may have travelled, not necessarily from the west country, who were unable to attend but it was the right decision to keep the game on and open to ticketholders.
For a period, it was considered that only members would be permitted to attend.
Whether they walked, cycled, ran or braved whatever public transport they could find, credit to those who made the trip and created a decent atmosphere.
The size of the crowd was probably double of a well-attended day in the LV= Insurance County Championship, but a very impressive one in the circumstances.

Adam Collins push an interesting opinion prior to the end of his commentary stint at the Kia Oval, suggesting that Will Jacks might be a late contender to be included in England's World Cup squad for the T20 tournament in Australia.
Despite having a tough time with Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash, Jacks has shone virtually everywhere he played including in Bangladesh where he enjoyed a fine run.
This was his fourth fifty of the Blast campaign and third in the last fifth innings across all formats, after two half-centuries in the Championship against tonight's opponents.
Generally, you would associate a Jacks innings with big swings across the lines and regular boundaries.
But this was a more measured knock that included just six boundaries, five fours and a maximum, by the end of the 18th over.
And then Jacks put the hammer down, hitting the first ball of Brooks' final over, over the rope - a key moment in the eventual outcome as Surrey got home via the final delivery.
