COUNTY CRICKET

SURREY NOW LEVEL AT THE TOP OF THE TABLE WITH SUSSEX

London, June 5.

The defence of Somerset's West Indian-born batsman Peter Wight almost deprived Surrey of a victory today which brought them level at the top of the table with Sussex.

Wight was undefeated in both Somerset innings, scoring 62 and 128, and he held up the County Champions to such an extent that they had only minutes of the extra half hour to spare when they took the last Somerset wicket.
