Aaron Finch smashed a century on his Surrey debut during day one of the side's Specsavers County Championship Division One clash against Warwickshire in Guildford.
Finch (110 from 98 balls) raced to his ton from just 90 deliveries batting at No 4 and had cracked 16 fours and two sixes - including one from his first ball - by the time he clipped Jeetan Patel (5-62) to slip.
The Australian's dismissal proved costly for the hosts as they slipped from 243-5 to 273 all out, veteran spinner Patel taking four of the final five wickets to fall to complete a 21st five-for in first-class cricket.
Varun Chopra (7no) and Andrew Umeed (3no) then guided Warwickshire to 12-0 in the six overs before the close.
In Division Two, Glamorgan reached stumps on 291-7 against Sussex at Hove, skipper Jacques Rudolph unbeaten on 76 after opener Nick Selman (52) had posted a maiden Championship fifty.
Sussex seamer Steve Magoffin took 3-47 from his 22 overs, while spinner Will Beer bowled Aneurin Donald (37) to pick up his first Championship wicket at Hove, eight years after making his debut and almost three years since his last four-day appearance.
