He was joined for major partnerships by other familiar faces of England, by putting 170 with Curran (108 out of 124 balls) for the third counter, 334 with Lawrence (178 out of 149) for the fourth and 133 with Jacks (119 out of 94) for the fifth before his dismissal.
Will Rhodes was the choice of quisors for visitors with 3-131, with George Drissell for 247 points from his 45 Overs.
Sibley is the top scorer in the county championship this year, with 975 points at an average of more than 75.
Surrey, who has won the title in the last three seasons, is currently second in division UN and undefeated this season, while Durham is sixth.
