At least Zafar Ansari who picked up five wickets (KP getting out to left arm spin? Who'd have thought it?) for Cambridge is actually a Surrey lad

Surrey Win Thriller
13 July 2011 Surrey have beaten Kent by 21 runs in a thrilling finale to the LV= County Championship match at the Kia Oval. Kent begun the day on 270/8 requiring a further 52 runs for victory, with Surrey just needing two wickets for the win. The visitors hopes lay in the hands of Robert Key who was still at the crease unbeaten overnight on 144. The batsmen began the day well and Key soon reached a magnificent 150, which had included seventeen boundaries and had taken him 251 balls. Key was protecting Robbie Joseph as much as he could; taking singles late into the overs, the experienced batsman was seeing the majority of the strike. Kent were slowly whittling down the required runs and neither batsmen looked too troubled by the seamers. Rory Hamilton-Brown decided to bring spin into the attack from both ends, and immediately things looked far more uncomfortable for the batsmen. Zafar Ansari then made the breakthrough for Surrey taking the vital wicket of Robert Key with the last ball of his first over. Looking for a single to retain the strike Key attempted a sweep but Ansari found turn outside the leg stump and bowled Key around his legs to end a fantastic innings of 162. Kent still required another 25 runs and Surrey could sense victory, continuing with spin the two tailenders looked increasingly uncomfortable. Gareth Batty then took the final wicket which lead to jubilant celebrations, Ashley Shaw looked to reverse sweep the spinner but only found the top edge and was caught close in by Jason Roy for a duck. The visitors were all out for 300 and Surrey had clinched a memorable 21 run victory. Key’s captain’s innings nearly saw Kent home; however excellent bowling and patience from Surrey saw the hosts win in a thrilling finish to remain in the promotion chase.

You know what, you're right mate. Listened on Radio London. Thought Mr. Key was going to do it, but young Zafar did the trick. Back to 20/20 for a couple of nights, a Pro Forty game against Durham on Sunday, before a revenge match in the Championship at the Guildford Festival against Middlesex starting next Wednesday!
