Ramprakash guides Surrey to their first win

In the concluding day of the latest round of Championship matches, there were wins for Surrey, Notts and Glamorgan. Mark Ramprakash scored an unbeaten 91 as Surrey recorded their first Championship win of the season, against Kent by seven wickets. Martin Bicknell also took his 1000th first-class wicket of his career. Chris Read smashed an unbeaten 108 to calm Notts' nerves to a three-wicket win against Durham, while all the Glamorgan bowlers chipped in to ease past Derbyshire by 128 runs. Elsewhere, Middlesex's match against Lancashire petered out to a draw after rain brought an early finish, and Somerset's Peter Bowler scored an unbeaten 138 to deny Essex victory at Taunton.
