Surrey's captain Jonathan Batty equalled the world record of eight catches in a first-class innings in the County Championship match against Kent at The Oval.

Batty, who made 129 in Surrey's first innings, took five catches on Wednesday and then added three more on the third morning of the game as Kent were bowled out for 239 and forced to follow on.

Batty is the third Englishman and fourth keeper overall (the other being Australia's Wally Grout) to achieve the feat. He now shares the Championship record set by Essex's David East in 1985 and equalled by Kent's Steve Marsh in 1991.

The record for most catches taken in a first-class innings by an outfielder is seven, held jointly by Micky Stewart for Surrey against Northamptonshire in 1957 and Tony Brown for Gloucestershire against Nottinghamshire in 1966.
