Both Tommy Ealham and Tom Lawes finished with List A best bowling returns in Surrey's impressive 95-run win against Kent at the Kia Oval.

The victory, a fourth from six Group A games, means qualification for the Metro Bank One Day Cup's knockout stages is now tantalisingly close. Indeed, just one more win from their final two group matches might do it.

Lawes took four for 40 as Kent were dismissed for 191 in reply to Surrey's 286, before a crowd of almost 7,000, but it was off spinner Ealham's three for 37 from nine controlled overs that is perhaps even more significant to Surrey's chances in the 50-over competition.
