Jason Roy half-century leads Surrey to third win in a row

Surrey maintain their perfect start to the Vitality Blast after a powerful innings from Jason Roy

South Group:
Surrey 175/5 beat Glamorgan 166/8

Jason Roy hits rapid fifty

Is there anyone who can hit the ball quite as hard as Jason Roy? He got Surrey off to a flying start, belting the ball deep into the Kia Oval crowd. Sixty-four runs and from 35 balls later and he was out, but not after providing the platform for his team to secure victory.

Glam rock Surrey

It wasn't all Surrey's way though. Despite the blistering start, Glamorgan fought back hard through Marnus Labuschagne's spin bowling, first removing Roy, before also accounting for Jamie Overton, to leave the hosts 101/4 just after the halfway stage.

Evans and Smith stand up

Surrey felt a little wobble of unease upon Overton's dismissal, but thanks to the combined efforts of Laurie Evans (39) and youngster Jamie Smith (35*) they romped home with 10 balls to go, Smith in particular providing a cool head in the final moments.

Marnus Labuschagne maintains stunning form

Australian Test bat Marnus Labuschagne is in the T20 form of his life, with three fifties in a row for Glamorgan. Mixing cool cuts and big hits straight down the ground, Labuschagne performed the anchor role for his side on the way to 74 off 51 balls and a competitive total of 166/8.
