Harbhajan hammered a 95-ball 84 including 11 fours and three sixes to give the finishing touches to a dominating performance by Surrey who posted a mammoth 603 inside four sessions against Gloucester-shire at the Bristol County Ground.

The off-spinner shared two valuable partnerships of 76 and 68 with England players Martin Bicknell (76) for the eighth wicket and James Ormond (33) for the ninth respectively.

The 'Turbanator' returned to dismiss the young James Pearson for a sixth ball duck as Gloucestershire slid to 90 for five in the post-lunch session.

In Nottingham, the Indian captain gave vital breakthroughs, claiming three for 47 with his effective medium-pacers, to put the skids under the hosts' brisk scoring rate.

Replying to Glamorgan's modest 267, Nottinghamshire were cruising at 268 for three before Ganguly rolled his goldern arm to remove New Zealand counterpart Stephen Fleming (78) and Australian David Hussey (81).

Ganguly, who had top scored with a vital 47 in Glamorgan's first innings, was joined in by another right arm medium pacer Huw Waters (3-70) and the two triggered a middle order collapse and Nottinghamshire declined to 324 for nine in no time.
