Toby Albert scores his maiden County Championship century and Nick Gubbins plunders his first as a father as Hampshire take control over Surrey.
Toby Albert scored his maiden County Championship century and Nick Gubbins plundered his first as a father as Hampshire took complete control over Surrey.
James Vince, Ben Brown and Liam Dawson also grabbed half-centuries as Hampshire piled on 495-4 to boast a huge 368-run lead over the reigning champions. Albert, the son of two Olympic equestrians, had ground out 34 in 139 balls on the first evening to make sure Hampshire did not follow Surrey’s 127 collapse.
Late-night feeds have not impacted Gubbins’ batting, with the left-hander as assured as ever for his 18th first-class century.
