Hampshire - on this day in 2017 - travelled to the Kia Oval to face Surrey in the County Championship, before the competition took a mid-season mini-break to make way for the T20 Blast.
James Vince won the toss, elected to bat and it proved a shrewd decision.

Hampshire eventually declared at 648-7 with Ervine (83) and Holland (58*) also contributing.
Surrey made 483 all-out in reply and the match eventually finished a draw with Surrey 166-3 when following on.
