Yorkshire secured a dominant innings and 127-run victory over Surrey at Headingley, ending the visitors' perfect start to the County Championship season. Surrey's first defeat came after they collapsed to 155, losing key batters Dom Sibley (34) and Josh Blake (19) early on the final day.

The result marks Surrey's first innings defeat since May 2024 and provides Yorkshire with their second win of the campaign. Yorkshire's bowlers capitalized on Surrey's fragility, wrapping up the last five wickets before lunch to complete a comprehensive performance that shifts momentum in Division One.

Elsewhere, Jake Lehmann's unbeaten century helped Hampshire secure a draw against leaders Nottinghamshire, while Warwickshire and Glamorgan sit second and third after their own draw at Edgbaston. Derbyshire celebrated a historic victory at Lord's, ending a 24-year drought against Middlesex with a seven-wicket triumph.
