KP hits quick fifty for Surrey

London - Kevin Pietersen has produced just the innings Surrey wanted on Wednesday with a brisk unbeaten half-century against Glamorgan in the County Championship.

South Africa-born batsman Pietersen has not played for England since controversially being axed last year following the team's 5-0 Ashes thrashing in Australia.

But the 34-year-old has repeatedly insisted he wants to force his way back into the international set-up and has been told by incoming England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Colin Graves that he has a chance if he scores enough Championship runs.
