Farhan Ahmed made first-class history while Liam Patterson-White took five wickets on day four at Trent Bridge as Nottinghamshire secured a well-earned draw against Vitality County Championship leaders Surrey.

The 16-year-old became the youngest player to take 10 wickets in a First-Class game in England as he took 3/77 in Surrey’s second innings to go alongside the seven-wicket haul he took in the first, earning match figures of 10/217.

Liam Patterson-White claimed 5/96 before Surrey declared on 177/9 having started the day 13/1, and then opening pair Haseeb Hameed and Ben Slater's unbeaten stand of 121 ensured the game finished a draw.

With captain Hameed deciding to open proceedings with spinners Ahmed and Patterson-White from both ends, it was the latter who struck twice in the space of four balls inside the opening hour of play.

First to go was Ryan Patel for 21 after a good take from Hameed close in on the leg side before Patterson-White knocked over Will Jacks when on two, to leave Surrey 67/3.

Brett Hutton almost gave Patterson-White a third wicket in the form of Rory Burns, but the pacer couldn’t hold onto what would have been a brilliant diving catch at square-leg.

An attempted stop-start single brought about the fourth wicket with Surrey on 85 as Ben Foakes couldn’t make his ground following a sharp pick-up and throw from Hameed.

With Surrey’s fifth-wicket pairing passing 50, Ahmed struck 20 minutes into the afternoon session as he bowled Rory Burns for 71 to leave the visitors 136/5. Ahmed then took his historic tenth wicket of the match after Kyle Verreynne took a smart catch standing up to the stumps to see the back of Jordan Clark for six.

With Surrey batting aggressively, Patterson-White took full advantage to claim the fifth five-wicket haul of his First-Class career as he took the last three wickets to fall before Burns' side declared on 177/9.

Rob Lord took a good catch to remove Sai Sudharsan at deep mid-wicket for 28 while both Conor McKerr (7) and Tom Lawes (4) had their off stump rattled after attempting to slog into the leg side.

With Surrey leading by 297 runs with a minimum of 48 to bowl, Hameed and Slater both batted watchfully on their way to a 50-run opening stand.

Slater profited off the bowling of Cameron Steel as hit him for two boundaries during the ninth over, the first a well-timed drive through the covers before clubbing him through mid-wicket two balls later.

Hameed, meanwhile, showed all his class with three exquisite drives, all through extra cover, at the expense of Jacks.

The openers reached tea with the score 60/0 and upon the resumption of proceedings, the pair continued in their composed fashion to a hundred-run stand off 158 balls.

Both players reached fifty either side of that milestone, Hameed getting there on his 78th ball faced (including eight fours) while Slater took 85 deliveries (six fours).

With the prospect of either team emerging victorious failing to materialise during the evening session, both captains shook hands at 5pm with Nottinghamshire 121/0 as a fine County Championship contest was drawn.

Earning four bonus points in the first innings, Nottinghamshire take 12 points in total from the stalemate and look onwards to a trip to high-flying Essex next week.
