Matt Fisher recorded a career-best bowling performance of 6-25 for Yorkshire against Surrey at the Kia Oval. His contribution was central to a day that saw 23 wickets fall in the Rothesay County Championship Division One match.

Yorkshire dismissed Surrey for 83 in their first innings, and then themselves were bowled out for 82 in their second innings. Surrey ended the day on 27-0, chasing a target of 185 for victory.

Bad light halted play at 18:20 BST, with 15.2 overs remaining. This marks the first time since 1950 that parts of all four innings have occurred on the same day in a first-class game at The Oval.

Why this matters: Both Surrey and Yorkshire, currently eighth and seventh in the Division One table, are aiming for a win in this match to avoid the two relegation places.
