Lord's, London, June 28.—The three-days' Second Test Mátch between England and New Zealand ended tamely in a draw at Lord's today, thus ending in similar manner to the first Test at Leeds. The final scores were: England 313 for nine declared and 306 for five; New Zealand' 484.
Every credit must be given to New Zealand for gaining a first innings' fead of 171 and also recording their highest score in Test cricket, but any hopes they may have hell of gaining their first Test victory over England were dispelled soon after lunch when Hulton and Robertson opened England's second innings with a century partnership.
The New Zealand score passed the previous best of 469 for nine declnred against England at Lord's in 1931.
A moderate England attack never looked like pegging down the New Zealand batsmen and the lefthunder, Martin Donnelly, dominated the morn- ing play by completing a double century,
His 200 was the highest individual innings in any Test for his country and also the highest for either side in England. He also became the first New Zenlander to reach a thousand runs on the tour.
