Start In Face Of Accurate Bowling By
The West Indies
Against steady bowling by the West Indies, England made a slow start at Lord's yesterday in the Test match.

As a result, the English score mounted and at close of play yesterday, England had made 404 for five wickets in reply to the West Indies' total of 277.
