"Centuries from Dom Sibley and Dan Lawrence helped Surrey gain a first-innings lead of 63 but their County Championship Division One match against Essex at the Oval looks like ending in a draw."
"Surrey were bowled out for 472 in 156.3 overs after Sibley made 101 and Lawrence 125 against his former county."
"The odd ball bounced disconcertingly and the delivery which bowled Ben Foakes from leg-spinner Matt Critchley scuttled along the deck."
"Sibley, 74 overnight, spent nearly 20 minutes on 99 before taking a single to backward point to bring up his 27th first-class hundred."
