Dom Sibley scores 100 and three other batters make fifties as Surrey end day two 73 runs ahead of Somerset.
Dom Sibley and Rory Burns led from the front as Surrey spent day two of their County Championship match against Somerset building a potentially match-winning lead at the Kia Oval.
The 2022 and 2023 champions will be seeking more first-innings runs yet, even though they lost Ben Foakes lbw for 57 in the closing overs as he tried to flick a Lewis Gregory delivery behind square. Jamie Smith also contributed an attractive 51 before falling to the second new ball when Craig Overton produced a beauty to uproot his off stump.
Sibley and Burns, on 29 and 13 overnight, added another 113 runs from 31 overs in the morning session, with the latter being badly dropped on the deep mid-wicket ropes by Tom Banton off seamer Migael Pretorius on 56.
