Scorecard

Jordan Clark took his season’s wicket-tally to 19 as Surrey took total control of their County Championship match against Northamptonshire at the Kia Oval.

Clark’s 3-45 spearheaded an impressive collective display by Surrey’s five-pronged seam attack as Northants slid to 154-8 after Gus Atkinson and Jamie Overton’s 124-run ninth-wicket stand had boosted the home team’s first-innings total to 401.

Atkinson’s career-best 66 not out and Overton’s equally robust 59, with both knocks full of quality strokes, rapidly took the game away from Northants after they had begun the second day promisingly with two quick wickets when Surrey resumed on 261-6
