"Dom Sibley, the rock of dependability at the top of Surrey's batting order, scored his sixth first-class hundred since the start of the 2025 season as Sussex struggled to keep themselves in the County Championship match at The Oval."
"Sibley was unbeaten on 116 in Surrey's 292-2 after having faced 268 balls across six hours of dutiful accumulation, leaving Surrey within touching distance of Sussex's first innings 358-9 declared."

"Sibley is not only building his case for an England recall five years after his last Test but also is within just nine of completing 10,000 career first-class runs."
