London May 19.

Len Hutton, the England cricket captain, playing in his first game since returning from Australia, cast off the cares of Test captainey today and found his most sparkling form with 66 for Yorkshire against Somerset at Leeds.

He reached his half century in 85 minutes and eventually gave a catch to mid wicket.
