"A record partnership from Ben Foakes and Tom Lawes rescued Surrey after they were reduced to 65-6 by Warwickshire on the opening day of the County Championship season at Edgbaston."
"Foakes with 128 and Lawes, with career-best 83, added 155 in 41 overs, marking a Surrey seventh-wicket record against Warwickshire in first-class cricket."
"Surrey's captain Rory Burns ran himself out in the third over, and the team struggled early on, losing wickets quickly to Warwickshire's seam attack."
"Surrey's total of 328, while not imposing, is highly competitive, especially given the conditions that offered some help to seamers."
