| Match scorecard |
Surrey completed the second largest run chase in County Championship history by knocking off 501 to stun shellshocked Kent.
After resuming on 263-3 overnight, England pair Dom Sibley and Ben Foakes extended their fine partnership to 207 to take the game away from the hosts.
Foakes fell for 124 but Sibley’s unbeaten 140 off 415 balls guided the Division One leaders to victory by five wickets as they salvaged their undefeated record against all the odds.
Surrey’s chase was just one run shy of the all-time Championship record held by Middlesex, who scored 502-6 in the fourth innings to beat Nottinghamshire in 1925.
