Worrall was well backed up by Tom Lawes, who took two for 22 from 13 overs, and Matt Fisher (two for 42), with only the fourth wicket pair of James Wharton and Matt Revis making any headway under grey clouds.
Wharton (45) and Revis (40) battled hard to put on 91 in 37 overs after Yorkshire had initially lost their first three wickets for only one run in the first 2.3 overs of the match.
It was a good toss for Surrey to win, in a Rothesay County Championship fixture crucial to teams currently languishing in seventh and eight places in a congested Division One table, although morning rain meant they had to wait until a 1.10pm start before unleashing their pace attack on a well-grassed surface.
