Champions Surrey bowl out Kent for 262 in mid-afternoon to seal their first Championship win of 2024 by an innings and 37 runs.
Surrey beat Kent by an innings and 37 runs in County Championship Division One despite defiant batting by the home side on the final day at Canterbury .
The hosts were 120-5 overnight, still 179 runs in arrears, and their slim hopes were dealt a near-fatal blow when Ben Compton was caught behind off Worrall in the fifth over of the morning for 17.Parkinson, promoted up the order to number eight, had spent the winter working on his batting as part of a concerted effort to shore up Kent's lower order and although there were a few alarms by lunch, Kent had reached 203-6 and the impossible now seemed merely improbable.
With Evison gone, Kent crumbled. George Garrett was lbw to Steel for five and Jas Singh went for a duck when Jamie Smith took a brilliant catch at short leg off the same bowler.
