Surrey shatter 126-year-old record score as Dom Sibley makes Durham toil in County Championship run-fest
Dom Sibley 's titanic triple century powered Surrey to a club-record 820 for nine as Durham felt the heat with the Kookaburra ball in the Rothesay County Championship. Resuming on 169, Sibley, who made the last of his 22 Test appearances for England four years ago, made a career-best 305, with the opener thumping 29 fours and two sixes in a marathon 475-ball innings that ended with Surrey on 745. After Sam Curran 's 108 on Sunday, Dan Lawrence made it to three figures with 178 off 149 balls, while Will Jacks also had licence to tee off and he thumped 119 off 94 deliveries at the Kia Oval. Durham did not even get the consolation of bowling Surrey out as Rory Burns declared after Jacks was out but not before his side had eclipsed their highest-ever total of 811, which was set in 1899. Will Rhodes was the pick of the attack with three for 131, while Matthew Potts, Daniel Hogg and George Drissell also conceded 100-plus runs, the latter claiming figures of 45-1-247-1 in stifling conditions. Durham need 671 just to avoid the follow-on against the reigning county champions and they ended day two on 59 for one, with Matthew Fisher bowling Emilio Gay in the fourth over of the reply. Elsewhere in Division One, Worcestershire captain Jake Libby made 228 not out a day after Adam Hose's explosive 266 as Worcestershire racked up 679 for seven against Hampshire at the Utilita Bowl. Gareth Roderick also made 80 as Hampshire's bowlers wilted before the hosts closed on 68 for three, with Tom Taylor claiming leg-before verdicts against Fletcha Middleton and Nick Gubbins. Ben Slater underpinned Nottinghamshire's 214 for three with 116 not out – his first century of 2025 – in response to Somerset's 379 at Taunton, with Tom Banton's 84 the top score for the home side. Essex slipped from 273 for three to 368 all out against Yorkshire, who went to stumps on 143 for three at York thanks to opener Adam Lyth's stoic unbeaten 65 from 172 balls. Daniel Hughes' 151 helped Sussex to 278 for three after Warwickshire were all out for 415 at Hove. In Division Two, England's record Test wicket-taker and Lancashire captain James Anderson collected two for 45 as Derbyshire were all out for 261 after the Red Rose had made 367 at Chesterfield. Anderson struck in his second and third overs, snaring Mitchell Wagstaff lbw and then bowling fellow opener Caleb Jewell, while George Balderson was the pick of the bowlers with four for 71. First-innings centurion Keaton Jennings made 51 not out in Lancashire reaching 114 for one and an overnight lead of 220. Naavya Sharma claimed four for 24 as leaders Leicestershire lurched to 103 for eight after Ben Geddes' 137 had lifted Middlesex to 534 at Grace Road. Daniel Bell-Drummond made 158 and Harry Finch underscored Kent's 566 for eight declared before Northamptonshire reached 140 for one, with Ricardo Vasconcelos unbeaten on 87. James Bracey's 133 ushered Gloucestershire to 380 against Glamorgan, who replied with 228 for four as Colin Ingram (52 not out) and Ben Kellaway (55no) put on an unbroken 107 at Sophia Gardens.

Dom Sibley's 305 powers Surrey to club-record score of 820
Surrey registered the fourth-highest innings score in County Championship history after declaring on 820 for nine against Durham at the Kia Oval. It was also the highest first-class total in Surrey's 126-year history as the hosts batted on until just after tea on day two. The epic five-session long innings was spearheaded by Dom Sibley who made a career-best 305 in a ten-hour vigil at the crease that lasted 151.3 overs. There were also quickfire centuries by Dan Lawrence and Will Jacks to back up Sam Curran's rapid hundred on the opening day. Sibley, on 169 overnight, added 334 in 53 overs with Lawrence as the former England all-rounder cruised from 58 to a career best 178. He struck four sixes and 19 fours while Jacks was just as brutal, hitting 119 from 94 balls putting on a further 133 in 21 overs for the fifth wicket. Durham used seven bowlers in trying to prise out the Surrey batsman on a flat pitch and an unresponsive Kookaburra ball with almost no swing or seam and little spin on offer. The spinner George Drissell put in a monumental shift, bowling 45 overs going for 247 runs for one wicket. Sibley's 475-ball innings featured two sixes and 29 fours and was the eighth first-class individual score of 300 or more by a Surrey batsman.

In the 28 overs before the close Surrey held Durham to 59 for one, with Matt Fisher taking the wicket of Emilio Gay bowled behind his trail by 761 runs with nine wickets remaining. Taunton (second day of four): Nottinghamshire, seven first innings wickets in hand, are 165 behind Somerset By Geoffrey Dean For sheer consistency this season, few can match the Nottinghamshire opening batsman Ben Slater. He came into this match with six consecutive championship fifties behind him to go with the two others he made in April, and on Monday he at last converted his ninth of the campaign into three figures. Having been dismissed twice in the nineties this year, including last week against Yorkshire, his delight at reaching his fifteenth first-class hundred from 171 balls was palpable as he punched the air. The compact 33-year old left-hander could hardly have played any better, seeing off the probing opening pair of Matt Henry and Craig Overton and coping capably with Jack Leach's constant targeting of the footmarks outside his off stump. His defence almost watertight, apart from an edge at catchable height through the slips off Kasey Aldridge, Slater put anything loose away unerringly to collect 14 fours in his unbeaten 116. Driving emphatically through the covers, he also cut and pulled clinically when given the opportunity. It was a most impressive effort in the heat, especially given he has been on the field for the whole of the two days played. Thanks to Slater, Nottinghamshire have every chance of first innings parity or better. After his opening partner Haseeb Hameed soon edged a beauty from Matt Henry, Freddie McCann and Joe Clarke grafted hard for an hour or more before each fell to some fine spin bowling. Jack Haynes very nearly departed off his first ball, perhaps being fortunate to be given the benefit after Leach hit his back pad. He grew in confidence, though, to play some attractive strokes in his unbeaten 34 out of a stand of 71 in 25 overs with Slater. Utilita Bowl (second day of four): Hampshire, with seven first-innings wickets in hand, are 611 runs behind Worcestershire By Ivo Tennant The imbalance between bat and ball continued apace for two sessions on this second day, if not as starkly as was the case at the Oval. By the time Hampshire's bowlers trudged off the field at tea, having conceded 679 runs in sweltering heat, they had seen quite enough of the Kookaburra, as well as of Jake Libby. The ECB's intention is that wickets should be hard earned in county cricket and there is no doubting that this experiment is proving they have to be. The third session, in which Worcestershire took three wickets, made for more compelling cricket. They will have to continue to bowl markedly well, for in addition to the lack of movement on account of a less pronounced seam, the pitch is about as flat as can be. As Dominic Kelly said after managing to take one wicket on his County Championship debut, 'give me the Dukes ball every time'. This was not the ideal occasion for him to be thrown a Kookaburra. Hampshire would like to see the number of championship matches in future reduced not to 12 a season but to ten. Even more need, then, for the bat not to dominate the ball excessively. None of which concerned Libby, and all credit for him for unwavering concentration in making the highest score of his career, a chanceless unbeaten 228 off 438 balls with 18 fours and a six. He is a proper old-fashioned Boycottesque cricketer who, in the right conditions, will bat all day every day. Worcestershire are in possession of a large total and the knowledge that Hampshire are fatigued after 160 overs in the field. The first hour on the third morning will be significant.
