Steel underwent surgery in February last year, and a further operation in September, but wasn\u2019t able to fully recover.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\u201cPlaying cricket for a living, and particularly for Surrey, has been the best time of my life,\u201d said Steel. \u201cThe last 18 months have been frustrating, and I\u2019m gutted to be retiring on medical grounds. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/cricket\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cricket<\/a> had become something I was watching, rather than doing, with too much time in the Oval\u2019s windowless gym and not enough time out in the middle. I\u2019ve always prided myself on working hard and doing everything I can to improve, and I gave my all to get back on the park. Unfortunately, it wasn\u2019t to be.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\u201cSurrey have always encouraged me to be unapologetically myself, and I\u2019m hugely grateful to the club, the players and the members for their support throughout my time here. Thank you to the medical staff for sticking with me through every grumpy calf raise and setback, and to the coaches, whose shoulders and backs survived years of throwdowns. Mostly, thank you to the lads for their friendship and support. A special thank you to Gareth Batty for his backing, opportunities and limitless time, and to Alec Stewart for taking a chance on me in 2021 and bringing me to the best club in the world.

Last night <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/sussexccc\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sussex<\/a> coach Paul Farbrace told the reporters network: \u201cOne or two of our young batters who have aspirations to play international cricket got to watch Rooty close up, how he scores off good balls and punishes the bad ones.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Also enjoyed his comment on Tom Price. \u201cHe\u2019s twisted his ankle, but it\u2019s the first time I\u2019ve ever seen anyone twist an ankle doing a long barrier. When they did that at Under 13s level, he must have had a week off that week. He\u2019ll be ok.\u201d<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-3i7iba\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\" props=\"{&quot;size&quot;:&quot;xsmall&quot;,&quot;pageId&quot;:&quot;sport\/live\/2026\/apr\/27\/surrey-v-essex-yorkshire-v-sussex-and-more-county-cricket-day-four-live&quot;,&quot;hash&quot;:&quot;block-69ef35638f081fa05612d0b2&quot;,&quot;queryParams&quot;:{&quot;page&quot;:&quot;with:block-69ef35638f081fa05612d0b2&quot;},&quot;webTitle&quot;:&quot;Surrey v Essex, Yorkshire v Sussex, and more: county cricket, day four \u2013 live&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:11,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:2},&quot;context&quot;:&quot;LiveBlock&quot;}\"><a href=\"mailto:?subject=Surrey v Essex, Yorkshire v Sussex, and more: county cricket, day four \u2013 live&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2026\/apr\/27\/surrey-v-essex-yorkshire-v-sussex-and-more-county-cricket-day-four-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-69ef35638f081fa05612d0b2#block-69ef35638f081fa05612d0b2\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-1mulgdf\">Share<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"-3 -3 30 30\" focusable=\"false\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M19 16c1.675 0 3 1.35 3 3 0 1.675-1.325 3-3 3a2.97 2.97 0 0 1-2.975-3c0-.125 0-.275.025-.375L7.1 14.15a2.9 2.9 0 0 1-2.075.825C3.325 14.975 2 13.65 2 12a3.004 3.004 0 0 1 3.025-3.025c.775 0 1.5.35 2.075.875l8.95-4.475c-.025-.1-.025-.225-.025-.4A2.966 2.966 0 0 1 19 2c1.675 0 3 1.325 3 2.975C22 6.65 20.675 8 19 8c-.8 0-1.475-.325-2.05-.825l-8.975 4.45C8 11.7 8 11.825 8 12s0 .3-.025.375l8.975 4.45c.575-.5 1.25-.825 2.05-.825m0-12.8c-.975 0-1.8.775-1.8 1.775S18.025 6.8 19 6.8c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.825S20 3.2 19 3.2m0 17.6c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.8 0-1-.825-1.8-1.825-1.8-.975 0-1.8.8-1.8 1.8 0 .975.825 1.8 1.8 1.8\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/gu-island><\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<article id=\"block-69ef2c0e8f0885ab23504ce9\" class=\"block dcr-1os4bxs\">\n<header class=\"dcr-88va8u\">\n<h2 class=\"dcr-1wl2b6o\">Search for a (Surrey) state school superstar<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><strong>This looks good.

He spent nearly 20 minutes on 99 before reaching his first hundred of the year, though shortly afterwards was the unlucky recipient of a Sam Cook cracker. Dan Lawrence leapt to an entertaining 125. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/surrey\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Surrey<\/a> finished with a lead of 63 and <strong>Essex<\/strong> saw off the final nine overs of the day. Surrey had promised free entry to any marathon runners but there was no sign of medals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><strong>Worcestershire<\/strong> duly bulldozed <strong>Kent<\/strong>, an innings-and-two-run flattening at New Road. Kent needed 231 to avoid an innings defeat and were soon in the soup at 38 for three, Tom Taylor (5 for 56) the destroyer. Zak Crawley dug in, but was eventually out, driving, for 31. Chris Benjamin (77) and Keith Dudgeon (41) could not quite force <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/worcestershire\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Worcestershire<\/a> to bat again. Kent are yet to pick up a batting point, and have lost Ben Compton with a dislocated finger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Joe Root purred into action at Headingley, in his first runout of the year. However, it was a surprise when he nibbled at Henry Crocombe and was out for 96. Sam Whiteman collected his maiden century for <strong>Yorkshire<\/strong>, who inched to a lead of nine. <strong>Sussex<\/strong> then lost two evening wickets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Haseeb Hameed (115) and Ben Duckett (93) propped up <strong>Nottinghamshire<\/strong> as they followed-on against <strong>Warwickshire<\/strong>. Duckett\u2019s dashing 93 was his second half-century of the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Matthew Potts reeled through <strong>Lancashire\u2019s<\/strong> top order, leaving them 72 for six, but two Durham old boys, Michael Jones (72) and Paul Coughlin (100) manned the lifeboats. <strong>Durham<\/strong> need 336 to win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Winless <strong>Gloucestershire<\/strong> can sleep on the chance of breaking their drought after forcing <strong>Derbyshire<\/strong> to follow-on at The Racecourse Ground.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">On
