iN.Z. Press Assoctatton—Copyright) LONDON. June 13.

Northamptonshire, winning the toss and batting first, was all out for 211 on the first day of its match against the Indians at Northampton today. rThe Indians’ opening attack of Surendra Nath and t M. L. Jaisimha was erratic, but in spile of their unimpressive start the Indians should have had the opening batsman P. Arnold's wicket at 19. when the wicketkeeper. N. S. Tamhane, missed a catch off Nath. The tourists amended for their indifferent fielding when they sent both openers back to the pavilion at 62. First N. Contractor, at backward point, held a good catch off a bad stroke by Arnold, and then Tamhane ran out D. Brookes. The Indians replied with 104 for two by the close of play.
