Warwickshire go top of Division One with 10-wicket win over Surrey

Surrey's struggles in Specsavers County Championship Division One continued as they slumped to a 10-wicket defeat against new table-toppers Warwickshire in Guildford.

Jeetan Patel claimed five wickets as Surrey collapsed to 177 all out in their second innings, setting Warwickshire a target of only two runs to claim an easy victory inside three days.

Warwickshire moved on from 345-6 to make 449 in their first innings with Keith Barker scoring 65 and Patel chipping in with 31 at the bottom of their order.

Surrey's second knock started badly when Barker dismissed Arun Harinath for a duck but Rory Burns and Zafar Ansari gave them hope with a second-wicket partnership of 102.

Burns' departure, clean bowled by Patel for 68, sparked a collapse as Surrey slumped from 107-1 to 123-6 with Ansari's innings one of those to come to an end for 40.

Rikki Clarke dismissed Aaron Finch for seven and, of the rest of the Surrey batsmen, only Steven Davies (44) made it into double figures as Patel (5-61) ran through their tail.

Warwickshire needed only five balls to reach their target with Andrew Umeed's four taking them to 5-0 and securing them 23 points - they top the table for now on 117 points with three more games in play. Surrey (76) are second bottom.

Hampshire are well on top in their clash with Durham, although their hopes were hit when rain ruined most of the evening session on day two.

Sean Ervine made 93 as Hampshire moved on from 319-6 to reach 472-9 before declaring at the Emirates ICG Durham. Gareth Berg scored 56, hitting six fours and a six, after coming in at No 9.

All-rounder Ryan McLaren accounted for Mark Stoneman for 17, clean bowling the Durham opener, and he repeated the dose on England Test candidate Steven Borthwick, who made only five.

But the home side made it to 79-2 before the bad weather struck, with Keaton Jennings unbeaten on 36 and Jack Burnham reaching 19.

Nottinghamshire's batsmen all made a handy contribution as they moved into a 27-run lead with five wickets remaining of their first innings against previous leaders Lancashire at Trent Bridge.

Lancashire only added three runs to their day one overnight score of 273-9 before Imran Tahir (4-81) dismissed Matt Parkinson for three.

Steven Mullaney and Jake Libby then built a decent first wicket stand of 86 before Mullaney was clean bowled by Kyle Jarvis for 43.

Libby made 54 before he was caught behind off the bowling of Neil Wagner and Jarvis (2-79) returned to end Greg Smith's stay on 30.

Jordan Clark claimed the other two wickets to fall - Michael Lumb for 43 and Brendan Taylor for 37 - but Samit Patel made 51 and Riki Wessels 25 in an unbeaten sixth wicket partnership of 62 by stumps to help Nottinghamshire to 303-5.

Middlesex trail Yorkshire by 276 runs with eight first-innings wickets remaining after the second day of their clash at Scarborough.

Gary Ballance moved on from 106 to reach 132 as Yorkshire made 406 in their opening knock at North Marine Road, with wicketkeeper Andrew Hodd making a handy 37.

Ballance's innings was ended after 262 balls by James Franklin (3-62) while Toby Roland-Jones also claimed three wickets, including that of Hodd.

Middlesex openers Sam Robson and Nick Gubbins looked to be on for a century stand until Jack Brooks struck to end Robson's innings on 40 and leave the visitors on 87-1.

Seven runs later Gubbins was trapped in front by Will Rhodes for 43, but Stevie Eskinazi and George Bailey (both 17) added an unbeaten 36 for the third wicket before the close, with Middlesex on 130-2.
