Sibley's Century Boosts Surrey's Chase

0:00On May 2nd, Dom Sibley dropped another century for Sury against Sussex at the Oval in the County Championship. The 30-year-old opener finished unbeaten on 116 off 268 balls as Rang cut short day two after 16 point. Three overs. Sury reached 292 for two, closing in on Sussex's first innings, 358 for nine, declared. Sussex made 77 in Patel 67, putting on 148 together with Sibley, then 109 more. They started day two on 19 without loss, grinding down Sussex's seam attack early. Burns failed chopping on after 149 balls, but Patel as the chance before building that big stand. Sibley's rock solid knock marks his sixth first-class 100 since the 2025 season started. He's just nine runs shy of 10,000 career first-class runs and building a strong case for an England test recall, five years after his last cap.

1:00Fans see him as the ultimate anchor. Sussex fought back with sharp spells from Crow Coleman Clark, who beat the bat plenty and drew edges. Pope got dropped early on 11 and ended 14, not out. A couple of spills hurt their momentum. Sury now I am match-winning lead on day three, with Sibley still there to steer them past Sussex's total and beyond.
