"A record partnership between Jamie Smith and Dan Lawrence saw Surrey safely to a draw after Warwickshire had dominated much of their County Championship fixture at Edgbaston. Smith struck a polished 132 from 261 balls and Lawrence an equally assured unbeaten 161 off 258 in a stand of 217 in 64 overs."
"Surrey resumed on the final morning on 169-3, still 47 behind, way behind in the game but in conditions which offered them a way out of trouble if they batted with the required diligence. They did so, as Smith and Lawrence knuckled down to add 105 from 31 overs in the morning session."
"The batters advanced relentlessly to their centuries in the afternoon, Smith's arriving from 199 balls and Lawrence's from 152, before becoming the third and fourth members of the team to put their names in."
