(N.Z.P.A. Reuter—Copyright) BRISTOL. A century by th,e opener, R. Nicholls, helps Gloucestershire to its highest score of the season when the county made 322 for nine against'the West Indies on the first day. at Bristol yesterday.

The West Indians, fielding six of their triumphant test side, failed to break through Gloucestershire’s usuallysuspect batting.

Had it not been for the fine fielding of R. Kanhai, who held five catches, the county would have been in an even stronger position. Nicholls batted for 3hr 25niin for his 108, and it was only the second century against the touring team this season.
