6.11pm: They're shaking hands! Surrey have given up the ghost after what looked briefly like one of the most remarkable chases in recent Championship history. Good fightback from Gregory and Aldridge after Smith and Lawrence took the opening bowlers apart. The match is drawn, and Essex remain the only Division One team to have won a game.
