Just 18 overs were bowled on day two of Surrey's County Championship derby against Middlesex due to rain.

Surrey were 146-6 in their first innings when play started on time at 11:00 BST, and had moved to 185-8 when rain arrived just before 12:20.

Hashim Amla was bowled by Tom Helm for 24 and Rikki Clarke edged Blake Cullen behind shortly before they went off, with play later abandoned at 15:40 BST.

Saturday's forecast is better but 118 overs have already been lost.
