SECOND
England Batsmen Cannot Expect Easy
TEST MATCH
Runs At Lord's
WICKET TIPPED TO HELP N.Z. BOWLERS By NORMAN YARDLEY
(Former England and Yorkshire Captain)
Although England, according to plan and form, wiped up the New Zealanders at Edgbaston, Birmingham, I can assuro you that few England batsmen expect easy runs in the Second Test, which starts at Lord's on June 19.
For young Mike Smith, in particular, it will be a very exneting occasion. If that Lord's wicket plays true to form the New Zealand seam bowlers will be very lively indeed.
It is amazing how luck can play such a vital part in a player's Test carcer. When Smith was named us England's new opener at Edgbaston, his home ground, the general expectation was that it would be the perfectly plumb wicket of last year.
But instrol, from the first bal! In the second innings he was matured look of Freddie True- to pretty well the list, drug-dropped in the slips when heman as a fast bowler. Freddie w nesk in both the set. and atmosphere made it tricky

John Reid Leads The Way With Fastest Century Of The Season
London, June 16. John Reid, the powerfully-built New Zealand cap- tain, led the way in the brighter scoring methods now being adopted by the touring team, with a hurricane century against Sussex at Hove,
Reid hit the fastest hundred of the season, taking only 86 minutes to reach three figures. His century came in a grand manor, a straight drive for six off the fast medium bowler, Thomson, shortly after he took the new ball.
