Surrey have won the County Championship title for a third straight year.
They edged closer to taking the Division One crown on Thursday after claiming a 10-wicket win over Durham, earning their eighth victory of the season.
Surrey’s title was then confirmed on Friday after nearest rivals Somerset fell to a 168-run defeat to Lancashire at Old Trafford.
Victory means Surrey have now become the first county to win three straight championships since Yorkshire between 1966-1968.
They have one match remaining in this year’s campaign, an away trip to Essex, which begins next Thursday.
