"Tom Lawes took 3-6 in a five-over spell to lead Surrey's response with the ball as Warwickshire replied with 132-4 after earlier bowling out the county champions for 246 despite fine half-centuries from Ryan Patel, Rory Burns and Ollie Pope. Leading second-placed Nottinghamshire by nine points with three matches to go in the County Championship season, Surrey were particularly indebted to Patel's superb unbeaten 72 from 67 balls after being put in by Warwickshire at The Oval."
"And Lawes then whipped out Alex Davies, Sam Hain and Zen Malik in quick succession all leg-before to fast, swinging deliveries after Dan Worrall had Rob Yates well held at third slip for seven in his third over with the new ball. Davies made 22, Hain a first ball duck and Malik eight and, at 47-4r, Warwickshire were in some trouble with 21 overs still to be bowled on day one."
"But Ed Barnard then joined Will Young, who was dropped on 10 at second slip off Matt Fisher, in an unbroken stand of 85 that meant honours were shared fairly evenly at the end of a gripping first day. Barnard reached stumps on 48 not out, with Young unbeaten on 35 and Surrey's quicks needing to come back strongly on the second morning."
Surrey were dismissed for 246, with Ryan Patel unbeaten on 72, Rory Burns 52 and Ollie Pope 50. Patel struck 11 fours and a six in a late counter-attack and added 58 with Matt Fisher for the ninth wicket. Warwickshire responded 132-4 by stumps, with Ed Barnard unbeaten on 48 and Will Young 35 not out in an unbroken 85-run stand. Tom Lawes recorded 3-6 in a five-over burst, removing Alex Davies, Sam Hain and Zen Malik LBW, while Dan Worrall had Rob Yates caught at third slip. Surrey lead Nottinghamshire by nine points.
