Surrey's Sibley Scores Two Centuries Against Hampshire

Surrey took a commanding position against Hampshire in their County Championship match, with Dom Sibley scoring centuries in both innings, becoming only the 20th player in Surrey's history to achieve this feat. Jamie Smith contributed a brisk 84 runs, helping Surrey declare at 342 for nine, setting Hampshire a challenging target of 377. In response, Hampshire struggled, ending the day at 35 for three after Kemar Roach and Jordan Clark took early wickets. Ollie Pope also made a vital contribution with a half-century, partnering with Sibley to establish a solid lead. Surrey's bowlers, particularly Dan Worrall, who took three wickets for 37 runs, were instrumental in dismantling Hampshire's batting lineup. As the match progressed, Hampshire faced mounting pressure, reflecting their inability to capitalize on the conditions at the Kia Oval.
