[THROUGH REUTER'S AGENCY.]
LONDON, June 13.
The first Test match between England and Australia opened at Nottingham to-day.
The English side had first innings, and after Hobbs and Sutclife had been together for some time, the latter was caught by Horni- brook of Fairfax.
Disaster then followed for the English team, for Hammond, Woelley and Hendren were sent back to the pavilion in rapid succession.
However, England's skipper, A. P. F. Chapman, joined the veteran of his side, Jack Hobbs, and together they brought the score from 91 runs for 4 wickets to 133 runs without being separat- ed.
IN
Hobbs' share is 54 not out, while Chapman is only two runs behind with his wicket still intact.
Of the four wickets, three, were taken by Grimmett."
As the teams were not cabled through, we cannot state who were the two that were left out of England's selected 13, while the composition of the Australian cleten is also unknown,"
The latest scores, to hand are --
