India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin is playing his first County Championship game for Surrey at The Oval. Ashwin, who replaced the injured fast bowler Kyle Jamieson for this match, gave only ♈2 runs in the first ov🏅er of the game bowled to Somerset openers Devon Conway and Steven Davies.
The 34-year-old later picked up the wicket of No.3 batsman Tom Lammonby for 42 in the 40th over to redu⛄ce Somerset to 113 for 3ꦺ.
Lammonby left the ball which was pitched in the good length area, only for his off-stump to get shattered. It was an absolute peach of a delivery as the pitch didn’t have much help for the spinners.
