Surrey 286 (Patel 73, Sibley 53, Milnes 3-32) beat Kent 191 (Denly 51, Lawes 4-40, Ealham 3-37) by 95 runsSurrey overpowered Kent by 95 runs at the Kia Oval, totalling 286 before bowling out their visitors for 191 to take a big step closer to qualification for the Metro Bank One-Day Cup knockout stages.
A crowd of almost 7000 saw Ryan Patel 's superb 70-ball 73 launch Surrey's innings in style, after they had been put in.
Kent, in reply, were never in the hunt as Dan Worrall and Tom Lawes , both released from their Hundred franchises, bowled beautifully and Patel - with his medium-pacers - came on to have Daniel Bell-Drummond caught at mid-off for 27.
After cleaning up the Kent tail, Lawes claimed 4 for 40 while Tommy Ealham also impressed with 3 for 37.
And, after Denly had edged an attempted ramp behind and Ekansh dragged Ealham to midwicket, the end came quickly.
