Hameed’s score is the highest by a Nottinghamshire player carrying his bat through an innings in the county’s first-class history.
Nottinghamshire captain Haseeb Hameed struck a record-breaking career-best 247 not out to help his side take control of their Vitality County Championship match against former club Lancashire at Trent Bridge.
Jamie Smith’s superb 155 had guided Surrey to a 121-run first-innings lead and they need just 58 runs to seal an impressive victory at the Kia Oval after openers Rory Burns and Dom Sibley took them to 31 without loss at stumps. David Bedingham cruised to his second Championship century of the season as Durham closed on 410 for eight, 93 runs behind in their first innings at Hampshire.
