🏏 Champions Surrey take on Durham at The Kia Oval with the hosts looking for a win to stay top of the LV= Insurance County Championship Division One table. See below for the latest ticket information.
Surrey are at the business end of the current County Championship season with a hat-trick on their minds. Last summer the Division One title race went to the wire when the Three Feathers successfully saw off the threat of Essex to defend the title they won in 2022. Surrey County Cricket Club tickets are on sale now.
The last time the Kia Oval side won back-to-back Division One titles was 1999-2000. This season history beckons if they can bring up an unprecedented three titles in a row. And it’s nerve-wracking if promising for Surrey who are top of the table with just two matches remaining.
This week’s game against Durham sees County Championship action return to the Oval with Surrey licking their wounds after a dramatic defeat to title rivals Somerset. The SE11 side were in control at Taunton, with match heading for a draw, but a collapse on the final day gave Somerset the win to keep alive their hopes of a first ever County Championship title.
Somerset are second in the table on 190 points, just eight points behind top-of-the-table Surrey. Both sides have two more games remaining.
