Match Report
Rain denied Surrey the chance of securing a semi-final spot in the Metro Bank Women’s One-Day Cup, after centuries from Emma Jones and Alice Davidson-Richards had put them in a commanding position over Essex.
With Somerset washed out away to Hampshire, a bonus point victory for Surrey would have been enough to secure fourth place ahead of their final match away to Durham on Saturday.
Instead, the rain, which arrived at the innings break and didn’t stop, means the match at Chester-le-Street now turns into an effective quarter-final, with Durham in fifth place and only three points behind Surrey.
Surrey had made two changes to their team that lost to Lancashire at the weekend, one of which was Emma Jones coming in at No.3 in place of Alice Capsey.
Jones had played just one fifty-over match for Surrey this year, and while showing glimpses with the bat across the T20 season, no-one predicted that her inclusion would bring such dramatic results, as she compiled a chanceless 141 off only 117 balls to record her first century for Surrey.
Jones entered this season without a half-century to her name in List A cricket, but has now scored two massive centuries in the format, after making 147 not out off 101 balls earlier this year while on loan at Glamorgan.
After rain early in the day, Surrey’s innings had been reduced to 45 overs, although they still managed to finish on 313 for five in what was a difficult day in the field for Essex, who with just two wins from 13 matches, remain bottom of the table.
