Joe Clarke struck 95 before Nottinghamshire’s bowling attack ran through Surrey to complete a famous three-day win by 145 runs at the Kia Oval.
Olly Stone, having returned his new best figures in a Notts shirt yesterday with 6/44, went on to take a further four wickets to end the match with only the second ten-wicket haul of his career.
Clarke’s top-score, that saw him retain his status as Division One’s leading run scorer, had earlier set up the visitors’ second-innings total of 306, in turn giving the Brown Caps a target of 329.
They never looked like reaching it, as Stone led the way once again with figures of 4/50, while Dillon Pennington backed him up with 3/46, including the winning wicket of centurion Ollie Pope.
It was only Notts’ second-ever three-day win at the Oval in the four-day era - and the first time since 1904 the Green and Golds have won at the venue in back to back years.
Despite the early loss of Jack Haynes, Clarke batted assuredly to surpass fifty with a handsome four, and then followed up with two further boundaries to extend the lead past 200.
That, in addition to Kyle Verreynne’s more-than-useful 46, helped Notts overcome a stutter, including losing Clarke - denied a deserved ton - to add 111 to their overnight 147-3 by lunch.
Such a total put them 280 runs ahead, and although Verreynne was dismissed without adding to his lunchtime score, a last-wicket stand between Pennington and Brett Hutton took that past 300.
There was much discussion at the time Hutton was lbw to Tom Lawes to wrap up the Notts innings as to whether the eventual advantage of 328 would be enough.
As it turned out, that question was comprehensively answered in the affirmative, as Stone saw both Dom Sibley and Adam Thomas caught behind by Verreynne before tea, to leave Surrey reeling.
Hutton then watched as Freddie McCann completed an outstanding aerial grab in the slips to see off Rory Burns, before Pennington joined the party by knocking back Ben Foakes’ middle stump.
Debutant overseas Mahipal Lomror had looked uncomfortable during his innings, but his dismissal was effected quickly when Pennington bowled him too.
Just about the only piece of frustration for Notts followed when Blake and the stubborn Ollie Pope put on 50 for the sixth wicket, with the latter going to his half-century in 74 balls.
However, Stone broke through to put the Green and Golds only four away when the former floated up a failed pull to Ben Martindale at square leg, and Patterson-White then bowled Jordan Clark.
Stone then continued his outstanding individual game by rearranging Tom Lawes’ stumps before running out Matthew Fisher to leave Surrey just one wicket away from defeat.
Pope did resist for a while alongside last man Dan Worrall, going to his ton with a brief cameo of counter-attacking hitting.
However, the inevitable finally arrived when Pennington saw him fire a chance in the air with just one over of the day’s regulation amount remaining, and Patterson-White gratefully claimed it.
