The Toss: The Blaze look to Surrey challenge to keep top spot

The Blaze return to Trent Bridge looking to extend their lead at the top of the table, but a Surrey side with plenty of batting firepower will test a team that has made a habit of finding ways to win.

The Blaze return to Trent Bridge as part of a busy Bank Holiday Monday against Surrey. It should be another test for The Blaze, who have had to work for their wins despite topping the table.

The win at Riverside, Chester-le-Street, relied on Kirstie Gordon’s captain's innings of 60 not out and Charley Phillips’s 5 for 49, which included four wickets in nine balls.

There were encouraging signs that The Blaze will fully hit their stride with Prisha Thanawala’s debut innings of 47, showing The Blaze’s depth runs deeper than it first seems. T

he game will take place alongside a food festival that has become a favourite at Trent Bridge on the May Day Bank Holiday weekend. It should bring more spectators to cheer The Blaze on, and hopefully, they can put on a display.
