Nottinghamshire battled to a deserved draw against LV= Insurance County Championship leaders Surrey, thanks partly to Brett Hutton's five-fer on day four.

The home side was bowled out for 340 at The Oval as Notts chased the 297 runs required, but after both teams shook hands, the match drew to a close with the visitors on 118/5.

The final day of Nottinghamshire’s LV= Insurance County Championship clash with Surrey got underway on a cloud-covered day in London.

The home side resumed on 200/5 following the falling of a few wickets late yesterday, with Will Jacks continuing on 19* and Lawes on 2* to begin the morning session.

Notts controlled the Brown Caps’ scoring early on, but Jacks battled to a 91-ball half-century just after Brett Hutton took the new ball.

Hutton would be rewarded for his work with the new ball shortly after. First to slip into a spot of bother was Lawes, which wasn’t given by the umpire despite a hefty Notts appeal for an lbw.

Jacks had his pads rapped shortly after and was dismissed for 60 during the seamer’s next over.

Another over for Hutton resulted in another lbw shout, with Clark next to have the ball connect to his front pad. The umpire agreed with the claims as the all-rounder left the field for two.

That flurry of wickets meant Surrey took lunch on 299/7, with Lawes reaching a 106-ball half-century in the final over before the break.

Nottinghamshire continued to attack in the afternoon session, with Harrison and Hutton taking the wickets of Lawes for 55 and Abbott for 8 in quick succession, both clipping deliveries off outside edge to Montgomery and Harrison respectively at slip.

Overton and Worrall put on a respectable final wicket partnership, but Surrey’s stint with the bat ended when the former looped Hutton’s delivery into Hameed’s hands.

340 was Surrey’s second innings total, giving Notts 52 overs to score 297 to try and win the match.

Ben Slater and Hameed emerged to face Worrall, with an immediate intent to look for positive shots.

Slater struck four boundaries in the first ten overs and built a solid partnership of 60 with Hameed, but fell for an authoritative 39, ending the afternoon session.

With the draw looking ever more likely, and Surrey's frustration building, the teams shook hands to declare an end to play, with Nottinghamshire finishing the day on 118/1.

Hameed and Young saw out proceedings, both finishing not out for 44 and 25 respectively.

With this result, Notts take 11 points including six batting and bowling bonus points, moving to seventh in the County Championship table.
