Surrey demolished Yorkshire by 10 wickets inside three days at the Oval on Thursday to win their second County Championship title in five years.

Yorkshire, following on in the four-day match, were dismissed for 208 -- after making 179 in reply to Surrey's first-innings 333 -- with Australian paceman Daniel Worrall taking 4-61.

That left Surrey needing just 55 runs for victory, knowing second-placed Hampshire had already lost to Kent at Southampton. Surrey captain Rory Burns, discarded by England as an opening batsman, hit the winning boundary to give Surrey a 22-point win that left them an unassailable 27 points ahead of neighbours Hampshire with just one round left to play.

Surrey's eighth win from 13 games this season meant they remained the only county in the Championship's two divisions yet to lose this season.
