- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.3 probing fifth-stump line induces a flaccid prod from Weatherley, and Roach finds the outside edge. Foakes, diving to his right and slightly forwards, takes the chance, and Surrey have the early breakthrough 20/119.4 trapped on the pad, and the finger goes up! Clark and Clarke are running riot. Fullish outswinger, Holland gets himself in a mess looking to work through wide mid-on, and is given out lbw - though he didn't look best pleased about it. Surrey have five inside 90 minutes 44/515.2 nicked and gone! Angled across the left-hander from over the wicket, drawing the outside edge, and Foakes moves to his left to take the catch 37/218.3 gets him this time! Northeast has a prod away from his body at a slightly back-of-a-length ball, which nips away off the seam. It flies to Rikki Clarke who gobbles up the chance at second slip, and Hampshire are three down early on 44/318.6 nicks him off! Slightly back of a length, Vince has a flirt, and only manages to edge through to Foakes. Surrey have four early ones, Hampshire in all sorts! 44/420.3 outswinger on a length, nicked to second slip, and it's becoming a procession! Table-topping Hampshire in all sorts on a green one 44/625.4 big shout for a thin edge behind, and the finger goes up! Currie can't handle the heat, as Roach draws him forward with a fullish outswinger, and Foakes snaffles the chance. Hampshire seven down before lunch 53/728.2 full, hooping away to draw the edge, and Abbott nicks off! Banana ball, pretty much unplayable for a tailender, and Clark has four. Abbott will be licking his lips on the way off, knowing he'll be bowling on this pitch before long 70/834.2 edged to second slip! Outswinger, just a hint of movement from a full length, and Wheal nicks it to Clarke in the cordon 92/934.3 full outswinger, edged low to Burns at slip, and Jordan Clark has a career-best: 6 for 21.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR44.6 under-edged onto his own stumps! Not a great ball from Dawson and Burns rocks back to flay through the leg side, but only manages to chop on 156/26.1 there's the first one! Tight fourth-stump line from Abbott induces a nibble from Stoneman, and McManus snaffles the simplest of chances 31/1106.1 chases a wide one, which he only manages to squeeze out to the man at wide gully/backward point, diving to his right! Currie's extra spice makes the breakthrough that Hampshire so desperately needed, and secures them their first point of the game 413/3136.6 spooned up to mid-off.... and Surrey bat on! 533/6134.1 nicked off! Has a prod at a length ball in the channel without moving his feet, and Currie finds a little bit of extra bounce to take the edge 526/4135.2 jags back to knock him over! And Surrey will bat on, with Jamie Overton striding out 527/5142.5 spooned up, and Currie takes the catch running back... and finally, Surrey have declared 560/6Extras15 (b 6, lb 5, nb 2, w 2)TOTAL560/7d (142.5 Overs, RR: 3.92)Fall of wickets: 1-31 (Mark Stoneman, 6.1 ov), 2-156 (Rory Burns, 44.6 ov), 3-413 (Ollie Pope, 106.1 ov), 3-513* (Hashim Amla, retired not out ), 4-526 (Ben Foakes, 134.1 ov), 5-527 (Jordan Clark, 135.2 ov), 6-533 (Jamie Smith, 136.6 ov), 7-560 (Rikki Clarke, 142.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.5 slightly full of a length, smashed on the knee roll, and up goes the finger! Surrey have their first 35/112.1 full, straight, smashed on the shin, and up goes the finger! Holland goes this time. Very full, and Holland was late on the shot looking to whip it into the leg side. Looked like it would have hit the base of leg stump 43/214.2 edged and gone! Blinding low catch at second slip from Rikki Clarke. Roach was wide on the crease, angling the ball into the left-hander, and Clarke scooped it up as is his wont. Hampshire four down before lunch! 44/412.4 length ball in the channel, Northeast needlessly has a flash and outside-edges to second slip! Strange shot given the match situation, and Surrey have their third. Hampshire in all sorts! 43/317.6 outswinger on a length, and Vince feathers an outside edge through to Foakes! He drags himself off, seemingly not best pleased with the decision, or perhaps at an archetypal Vince innings: two sweetly-timed drives and a nick 60/536.5 hoops in a mile to hit Dawson on the pad... and up goes the finger! Not sure about that one - looked to have been a touch high and flying down the leg side, too. But Dawson has to drag himself off, and Surrey have six 114/660.3 banged in halfway down, strangled down the leg side, and Roach has eight! Career-best figures for him, and Surrey win by an innings and plenty 179/938.6 hooping inswinger, smashed on the boot, and given! Roach has five, Surrey have seven, and this one will be over before long 120/756.3 edged and gone! Thick edge to second slip, and Roach makes the breakthrough yet again. He now has six and Surrey are two wickets away 166/856.6 full, straight, pinned, gone! Roach has seven-for! Ducks in late, and Wheal is pinned leg-before 166/9Extras21 (b 4, lb 15, nb 2)TOTAL179 all out (60.3 Overs, RR: 2.95)Fall of wickets: 1-35 (Joe Weatherley, 7.5 ov), 2-43 (Ian Holland, 12.1 ov), 3-43 (Sam Northeast, 12.4 ov), 4-44 (Tom Alsop, 14.2 ov), 5-60 (James Vince, 17.6 ov), 6-114 (Liam Dawson, 36.5 ov), 7-120 (Scott Currie, 38.6 ov), 8-166 (Kyle Abbott, 56.3 ov), 9-166 (Brad Wheal, 56.6 ov), 10-179 (Lewis McManus, 60.3 ov)
