"Surrey completed their first County Championship win of the season with a comprehensive eight-wicket victory over Sussex at the Kia Oval. They were made to work hard for their 22 points, with Charlie Tear, Jack Carson and Sussex captain Ollie Robinson all making defiant runs on day four."
"Starting the final day still 188 runs adrift on 76-4 in their second innings, Sussex were eventually bowled out for 277 in 85 overs, with Surrey needing the second new ball to finish the job."
"The 21-year-old Tear made a career-best 61, his second half-century in four first-class appearances, while Carson scored 48 and Robinson 42. Sussex opener Tom Haines, who had retired hurt after being struck in the helmet grille, returned to offer further resistance."
