Only Sandham among the early batsmen, was comfortable. He stayed at the wickets nearly three hours. Moloney enjoyed a hectic period, of deadly effectiveness, taking three wickets for no runs in two overs. Watts and Gover Hit Out. Surrey had eight down for 147 runs. Watts and Gover, two bowlers, hitting vigorously, added 124 runs at a great pace. Watts gave a fine display lasting a little over an hour, lie hit nine fours and Gover six fours.
