LONDON, Sept 13: Hampshire went to the top of English County Championship on Friday with an innings and 122 runs victory over Surrey which left The Oval giants looking doomed to relegation. Surrey, who were 171-7 overnight, were all out for 210 as spinners Liam Dawson (two for 32) and Imran Tahir (four for 29) cleaned up.

The home side were forced to follow-on and were dismissed for just 148 with Dimitri Mascarenhas claiming four for 13.—AFP
