Hey cricket fanatics! Day 2 of the Surrey vs Hampshire clash in the County Championship has wrapped up, and let me tell you, it was a day of fluctuating fortunes. Surrey is firmly in the driver's seat, and Hampshire is left scratching their heads. Let's dive in, shall we?

Surrey's Grip Tightens

Surrey, after posting a decent first innings score of 253, saw Hampshire crumble for 219. Then, in their second innings, Surrey is already at 136/1, with a commanding lead of 170 runs. It's safe to say, things are looking rosy for Surrey.

Sibley and Pope in Fine Form

Dom Sibley, fresh from a century in the first innings, continues to impress, and is looking rock solid. But Ollie Pope is turning on the style as well. They're really putting the pressure on Hampshire and showing why Surrey is the team to beat.

Hampshire's Struggles

Unfortunately for Hampshire, things didn't go as planned. A slow morning, followed by a mini-collapse, put them on the back foot. They seemed to lose their way in the sunshine and let Surrey dictate the terms.

Key Performances

• Dan Worrall: The Surrey bowler was on fire, picking up crucial wickets.
