Yorkshire completed a 127-run County Championship victory over Surrey by an innings. Surrey began day four on 83-5 in their second innings, trailing by 199, and lost Dom Sibley for 34 and Josh Blake for 19. Surrey were bowled out for 155, suffering their first defeat of the season in six Division One matches. Yorkshire took 23 points, while Surrey received two points. Jack White removed Sibley with an edge to second slip and trapped Blake lbw, then bowled Jordan Clark. White finished with 3-27 from 11 overs. Sean Abbott and Matthew Fisher added 25 for the ninth wicket, but Fisher was dismissed after being struck and then edged to first slip. Abbott and Dan Worrall added 35 before Worrall’s off-stump was uprooted by George Hill.
"Yorkshire completed a notable innings and 127-run County Championship victory over Surrey as they claimed their last five wickets just before lunch on day four. Surrey started the day on 83-5 in their second innings, trailing by 199, and they quickly lost overnight duo Dom Sibley for 34 and left-handed Josh Blake for 19. From there, the writing was on the wall as Surrey, bowled out for 155, slipped to their first defeat of the season in six Division One matches this season."
"Sibley was dropped at leg slip in the day's first full over off Jack White before he edged departing Australian Test quick Jhye Richardson to second slip in the next, where Harry Brook took a sharp catch going to his left. White then trapped Blake lbw pushing forwards, leaving Surrey 90-7 in the 32nd over, the day's third full over. And shortly afterwards, he bowled Jordan Clark with one that shot through low."
"White finished with 3-27 from 11 overs. Sean Abbott and Matthew Fisher added a consolatory 25 for the ninth wicket, and the latter was even struck a nasty blow to the helmet by a Matthew Revis bouncer. Two balls later, he edged the same bowler to first slip - 120-9. Abbott, 33 not out, and last man Dan Worrall added 35 more before the latter had his off-stump uprooted by George Hill, who struck for the first time in the innings and the fifth time in the match."
"This was also Surrey's first innings defeat in the Championship since late May 2024, when they were beaten by Hampshire at the Utilita Bowl. Yorkshire claimed 23 points for their second win in six, with Surrey taking only two points. This was the last game of Richardson's early-season overseas spell"
