Surrey broke a 126-year-old club record when they posted their highest total in a county cricket match on Monday, declaring their first innings at 820/9 against

Durham on the second day of their County Championship clash at the Oval in London.

Dom Sibley scored 305 while fellow England internationals Sam Curran (108), Dan Lawrence (178) and Will Jacks (119) pitched in with centuries as Surrey improved on their previous record of 811 scored against Somerset in 1899 at the same venue.

Yorkshire's total of 887 against Warwickshire in 1896 remains the highest total in county cricket, with Surrey's record the fourth-highest in the list.
