Surrey race to 52-0 after bowling Durham out for 262 to strengthen their bid for a third straight County Championship title.
Durham battled hard to reach 262 at The Oval but Surrey had the better of day one as they seek a third successive County Championship title.
Surrey began the penultimate round of Division One matches eight points clear of second-placed Somerset, who beat them at Taunton last week, and reduced Durham to 134-5 after opting to bowl first before Ackermann and Bas de Leede added 70 in a punchy fifth-wicket stand. Tom Curran had debutant Emilio Gay, on loan ahead of a permanent move from Northamptonshire, lbw for a duck but David Bedingham, dropped on 14 despite a brilliant effort from Dom Sibley, put on 51 with Ollie Robinson.
