Following their first-ball dismissal for 151, Hampshire was bowled out for 197 thanks to an outstanding 5-47 finish from Dan Worrall.
Ollie Pope grabbed three more catches at second slip to give himself six in the innings and eight for the game, matching the Surrey record for most outfield catches in a first-class match.
Had severe weather not caused the loss of 84 overs on the second and third days, Surrey’s dominating victory—their second of the Division One season—would have been finished well within three days.
After Liam Dawson was dismissed for eighteen, Hampshire, trailing Worrall to Pope in the cordon, resumed their second innings at 116-5, 92 runs behind their overnight total. Ben Brown’s single was the only addition to their total.
After hanging around for his four runs off of twenty-three balls, James Fuller fended off a Gus Atkinson lifter to gully, where Dan Lawrence made the second attempt at the catch, leaving Hampshire at 139-7.
