SAVED FROM TEST FOLLOW-ON BY MOLONEY & ROBERTS

WALLACE A DELIGHT

NEW

TO WATCH

London, June-29. JEW ZEALAND still have a fighting chance in the first Test match at Lord's, for they have Saved the follow- on, and made 282 for nine wic- 3kets in reply to England's total of 424, states Howard Marshall in the London “Daily Telegraph" 63 in commenting upon the Second Day's play in the First Test Match between England and New Zea- land. England will have to score runs fast and take Wickets quickly if they are to force a victory to-day. It is possible that the wicket may help them when New Zealand bat again, but a draw is now the prob- 2-6able result.

RECREIO TOO GOOD

At that point Moloney and Roberts took charge, and apart from a few overs by Gover with the new ball, they made the England at- tack look completely innocuous, and gave us uneasy thoughts about our chances against Australia. Both of them batted extremely well, and the New Zealanders' reputation as courageous fighters was amply vindicated. ›
