Jamie Smith scored 132 from 261 balls and Dan Lawrence made an unbeaten 161 from 258 balls in a stand of 217 over 64 overs, batting through the final day to reach 447-4 and erase Surrey's first-innings deficit of 216. Surrey had been in disarray at 65-6 on the first afternoon, but the partnership surpassed Surrey's previous fourth-wicket best against Warwickshire, set at 213 by Tom Hayward and Edwin Goatley in 1906. The County Championship started on 3 April, its earliest start in history, and Rory Burns claimed the record for the earliest dismissal in County Championship history, run out 10 minutes into the day's play at Edgbaston.
Nine Test cricketers featured in the Division One clash, with Surrey's entire top six having played Test cricket for England; key dismissals included Jamie Smith edging Ethan Bamber for 9, Ollie Pope lbw to Bamber for 20, and Dan Lawrence edging Bamber to slip before lunch. Warwickshire coach Ian Westwood described the match as of good quality and said Warwickshire are happy with 16 points from the draw. The exact scores in each innings for both teams and the specific conditions affecting the match beyond general descriptions remain unclear, as do the impacts of individual performances on team strategies or future selections.
