Teams get 16 points for a win and 8 points for a draw. Teams can also earn some bonus points during the first 110 overs of their first innings, based on the number of runs scored and wickets taken.

Surrey's big domestic rivalry is with Middlesex, who play their home games at Lord's on the other side of London. If you want to attend a match with the biggest crowd and liveliest atmosphere then try and make it Surrey v Middlesex. (Unfortunately they won't be playing each other this year because Middlesex are in Division Two.) Historicially Surrey have the edge in first class cricket, but if you include One Day and Twenty20 then the two teams are generally well-matched.

The Kia Oval cricket ground
Surrey have been playing cricket at the Oval since 1845. It holds 25,500 people making it the third largest cricket ground in the country, and is overlooked by a huge gasometer that stands less than 50 metres from the stadium wall. The wrought-iron Victorian structure has been out of use since 2014, but has been awarded Grade II listed status to protect it from demolition.
