Butcher got Surrey's innings off to a fine start

The pair were rarely troubled, Butcher unbeaten on 53 and Ward 51 as Surrey sped to 115 without loss at the close of play.

The early departure of Matthew Wood, dismissed by the in-form Tudor for a duck, set the tone and things improved little for Yorkshire.

They laboured for the most part, scoring at less than two runs an over with Michael Lumb's 30 the highest score for the innings.

Tudor conceded just 31 runs in his 19 overs, and he was ably assisted by Pakistani Azhar Mahmood, who took three for 33.
