LONDON (Reuters) - Hashim Amla painstakingly compiled an unbeaten 37 from 278 balls in a defensive masterclass to foil Hampshire's victory bid and secure a draw for Surrey in a County Championship match at the Rose Bowl in Southampton.

Resuming on a precarious six for two after being made to follow on, Surrey finished 128-8 on Wednesday with South African Amla batting the whole day.
