TOURISTS REQUIRE 201 TO SAVE INNINGS DEFEAT.

LOWRY'S EFFORT

At the conclusion of the second day's play in the Second Test match at Lords, England seem to be in an unassailable position. Thanks to the fine attack of England's youth the New Zealanders, with nine second innings wickets in hand, require 201 runs to save the innings defeat..

The features of the match to date have been the second wicket partnership for England between Sutcliffe and Duleepsinhji which produced 184 runs; Sutcliffe's century; Duleepsinhjl's three figure total; Hammond's undefeated century; the fourth wicket partner ship between Hammond and Ames which produced 130 runs; Allen's remarkable bowling; and Lowry's great effort to avert the follow-on. The first Test match at Lord's resulted in a drawn. game-the New Zealanders scoring 224 and 469 for 9 wickets declared to Eng land's 454 and 146 for 5 wickets. This match, however, was favour-wanted by the French Govern- ́ed by the presence of C. S. Dempster, the Bradman of the touring eleven, and his absence from the team in the present match has obvi: ously had a demoralising effect. He scored 53 and 120 at Lord's.
