The concluding stages of the match between Surrey and Somerset at the Oval yesterday will long be remem- bered. This is what happened;

Then Somerset went in needing 178 to win, and they falled by eleven runs, despite some mighty hitting by Wellard.

Within this space nu player, other than the taker of a penuity, will be allowed to encroach.
