"Ollie Robinson hit 100 not out from No 10, his highest score for more than a decade, as Sussex rallied remarkably against Surrey at the Kia Oval to reach 358-9 declared after Jordan Clark's five-wicket burst before lunch had sent them plunging to 92-7."
"Robinson completed his hundred with a pulled six over deep mid-wicket, and then promptly declared to leave Surrey's openers facing an awkward ten overs, in which they scored 19 without loss."
"Their stand was a Sussex ninth-wicket record against Surrey, topping the 160 by the legendary KS Ranjitsinhji and Fred Tate at Hastings in 1902, and only five runs short of the county's overall partnership record for that wicket."
Sussex declared at 358-9 after a dramatic recovery from 92-7, led by Ollie Robinson's unbeaten 100 and Jack Carson's 105. Their ninth-wicket partnership of 173 set a record against Surrey. Hudson-Prentice contributed 53 runs, and the team faced Surrey's bowlers, with Clark taking 5-68. The match attracted 5,500 spectators, who witnessed a thrilling day of cricket at the Kia Oval, with both Robinson and Carson receiving applause for their centuries.
