SPARKLING BATTING
West Indies Eleven / MATCH AGAINST SURREY NZPA —Copyright Rec. 7.10 p.m. LONDON, May 13. The West Indies commenced their first London match —a three-day game against Surrey at Kensington Oval—in ideal conditions today. The visiting captain, Goddard, won the toss and elected to bat. With spectacular fielding and accurate bowling, Surtey attempted to stifle run-getting by the Indians. The first hour yielded only 35 runs, and only 90 for the loss of two wickets were on the board at lunch. Play livened up in the afternoon with sparkling batting by Rae and Weekes, and at the tea adjournment the scOre had reached 282. Walcott joined Weekes when Rae was dismissed, and the pair carried on brilliantly, Weekes being ' still unconquered at the close of the day's play.
