That’s all for today. We’ll be back tomorrow for the third and penultimate day of the game. Goodnight and good luck!

Gus Atkinson's reaction

Incredible, surreal. I don’t think it’s sunk in yet. I never thought I’d get on the Lord’s honours board for my batting. Yeah, a pretty cool day. My family were here – it’s my brother’s birthday today – and a few of my friends as well.

I went for dinner with Zak and Brooky last night and we talked about it a bit so it was on my mind.

It’s hard not to smile [on reaching a century]. When I went in Baz told me to put a bit of pressure on the spinner. I don’t normally run down the track but I was seeing it pretty well and it came off.

I’ve had a preetty terrible year for Surrey with the bat so to get a Test hundred is special.

We’re very pleased to get up to 430 and bowl them out for 196. The wicket… it felt like there were balls in there that gripped and our fields were very good. Getting two men caught at leg slip was big. Popey led really well from that point of view.

I felt like I was struggling with the ball. Mentally I feel like I used up so much energy thinking about batting. I didn’t think about bowling at all, so I had to try to switch on when we came back out. I did find that quite difficult today.

[Do you fancy moving up the order?] Nah, I’m happy at eight. Eight’s good!
