"Heavy afternoon rain had the final say at The Oval as title favourites Surrey were forced to accept a draw against Warwickshire that cuts their lead over Nottinghamshire at the top of the County Championship to a single point. Surrey set Warwickshire 390 to win in 76 overs after declaring their second innings on 391-8, with Dom Sibley completing his fourth championship hundred of the season despite batting with a runner due to a groin injury."
"Rob Yates remained 34 not out and Will Young, who had top-scored for Warwickshire with 72 in their first innings, was unbeaten on 31. With eight points for the draw, both sides take 11 points from this fixture and that means Surrey, chasing a fourth successive championship title, have lost ground against Notts who earlier in the day beat Worcestershire at New Road."
