A 76-run partnership between Jonathan Trott and Ian Bell will have settled the Warwickshire dressing room. 

Bell, who looks utterly determined to put his stamp on the game is 50 not out and Trott is unbeaten on 24.

The stand was needed after Sam Curran and Jade Dernbach reduced the visitors to 37-2. Remember that Warwickshire are following on after being dismissed for 91 yesterday.

Mark Footitt produced a devastating spell to put Surrey in complete control, taking three wickets without conceding a run. 

The left-armer dismissed Jonathan Trott and Ian Bell in the space of three balls and then removed Sam Hain on the stroke of tea.

The sun continues to shine at The Oval, but the Warwickshire dressing room will be feeling a little chilly at tea.

A very good morning for Surrey as they continue to bat under the blue skies of London. Kumar Sangakkara and Dominic Sibley added 55 until Sangakkara fell to Oliver Hannon-Dalby for a graceful 71.

Sibley has looked rock solid and once again Surrey looked booked in to bat all afternoon.
