Hampshire had May as a given man, Surrey had Bowra and Brazier. Surrey’s last pair, Stevens and Wood, added 43 runs to win the match. The Hampshire team is not in batting order. In Hampshire (2), the newspapers give the order as Small, Sueter, Francis, Leer, Nyren, Taylor, Veck, Aburrow, Brett, May, Aylward, which is probably the order of dismissal. The newspapers’ order for Surrey seems more plausible and has been accepted (although Tankerville may be listed first as patron); changes in Surrey (2) are not known, although Muggeridge and Palmer were the men out at the end of day 2. 59
