'Occasional seamer Ryan Patel bowled Jonny Bairstow for 77 to claim his first wicket of the season as Surrey quickly completed a crushing County Championship victory by an innings and 28 runs after dismissing Yorkshire for 229.'
'With Bairstow, who had resumed on 64, went all remaining hope for Yorkshire after they had begun day four on 185-6 in their second innings, still 72 runs adrift.'
'The win, their second of the campaign, propels them into second place in the Division One table behind early pace-setters Nottinghamshire and is the 18th victory from the 24 championship matches they have played at their headquarters since the start of the 2022 season.'
'For Surrey, it extends a remarkable recent record at their Oval fortress... they have lost at home just once.'
