Ollie Pope brought ‘Bazball’ to the LV= Insurance County Championship as he blazed an unbeaten 122 from 102 balls to lead Surrey to a crushing nine-wicket win over fellow title hopefuls Hampshire at the Kia Oval.
Dom Sibley’s unbeaten 79 played the perfect anchor role for England batter Pope, who struck three sixes and 14 fours, as the second-wicket pair put on 193 in 30 overs to help Surrey chase down a target of 243 with the minimum of fuss.
