"COUNTY" CRICKET

KENT TAKE FIRST INNINGS POINTS LANCASHIRE

OFF

London, Aug. 9.

Colin Cowdrey, the England opening bat, scored 121 not out to help Kent, bottom-of-the-county cricket table, take first innings points against Lancashire on the second day of their match today.

In three hours twenty minutes he hit 20 fours and butted confidently except for two difficu chances off pace bowler Colin Smith. Cowdrey's century enabled Kent to make a fine recovery after they had lost their first four wickets for 73, and their 296 was the highest total by a county side against Lancashire this season.

FOURTH TEST REFLECTIONS

ENGLAND TO WIN AT THE OVAL-WHATEVER THE WICKET

Says DENNIS HART

The Ashes may be in England's safe keeping for at least another two years but England still has a fight on in the Test series against Australia. There is that final Test at the Oval, England must at least avoid defeat to win the rubber. More important she must aim to win to prove her superiority over Australia.

The way England outclassed Australia at Old Trafford is not enough. Nor was that other innings victory at Leeds.

In both cases England had the advantage of the toss and the wicket. In both cases this advantage has been exaggerated.
