The LV= Insurance County Championship match between Durham and Surrey at the Emirates Riverside will not go ahead following an unnamed member of the Surrey playing squad testing positive for Covid-19.

The player has begun to self-isolate along with a significant number of the Surrey squad who have been identified as close contacts.

Due to the required isolation protocols and the extensive impact on Surrey’s available playing squad, reluctantly the decision has been made that the match will not go ahead on Monday 30 August.

Confirmation on the awarding of points for the match will be announced in due course.
