County Championship: Surrey score 637-7 declared against Hampshire

Surrey scored a massive 637-7 declared in the first innings of their bottom-of-the-table tussle with Hampshire in the Specsavers County Championship clash.

Surrey by far had the better of day two at The Ageas Bowl in the battle of the bottom two in Division One - Ben Foakes top-scoring with an unbeaten 141; one of three centurions for the visitors.

Rory Burns hit 122 on day one, while skipper Gareth Batty smashed 110 not out off only 145 balls in a 222-run partnership with Foakes before declaring.

Surrey then reduced Hampshire to 73-2 by the close - Mark Footitt (2-7) removing openers Will Smith (0) and Jimmy Adams (5) in his opening five over burst.

Lancashire have set Durham 246 to chase on the final day of their Southport clash after scoring 333 in their second innings on day three.

Luke Procter hit 122, putting on 114 for the second wicket with Haseeb Hameed (53), to see Lancs wipe out Durham's 87-run first innings lead.

Ben Stokes (3-50) provided the breakthrough, dismissing Hameed, one of three wickets for the all-rounder as he celebrated his return to the England Test squad in style.

Lancashire's lower order could not build further on Procter and Hameed's fine start, with the 35 scored by Tom Moores - on his first class debut - the next best tally as they were bowled out just before stumps.

Marcus Trescothick hit a record-equalling 49th first-class century for the Somerset and a third in three games as they reached 244-3 in response to Nottinghamshire's first-innings 401 on day two at Trent Bridge.

Trescothick matched Harold Gimblett's hundreds total for the west country side and is still unbeaten on 117 at the close of play after sharing in century stands for the first and second wickets with Johann Myburgh (54) and Chris Rogers (48).

Nottinghamshire - 311-4 overnight - struggled to 401 all out early in the day's play, losing century-scorer on day one, Steven Mullaney (165), in the third over of play.

Craig Overton (4-54) took the wicket - the Somerset seamer grabbed four of the six Notts wickets to fall as Somerset ran through the rest of the order.

In Division Two, Glamorgan built further on their advantage over Derbyshire on day two in Colwyn Bay, bowling the visitors out for 177 in their first innings and enforcing the follow on.

After Glamorgan batsman Aneurin Donald (234) equaled the fastest first-class double ton - off 132 balls - the hosts were eventually bowled out for 518 early on day two.

Craig Meschede (3-33) was then the pick of the bowlers as Glamorgan then skittled out Derbyshire in just 52 overs. The visitors were faring a little better at 78-1 in their second innings - although still 263 runs behind - by stumps.

Sam Northeast smashed 190 off 244 balls, reaching 1,000 first-class runs for the summer, as Kent batted themselves into a dominant position on day two against Sussex in Tunbridge Wells.

Already in the ascendancy at 310-3 after the first day, Northeast kicked on from his overnight score of 75 not out, receiving handy lower-order support from Alex Blake (61) in particular, as the hosts amassed 575 in their first innings.

Sussex lost Harry Finch for a 40-ball three, but battled up to 69-1 in their 33 overs before the close of play - Chris Nash unbeaten on 48.
