ENGLAND'S VICTORY

NEW ZEALAND BEATEN BY AN INNINGS.

HEROIC EFFORT BY VIVIAN: BOWLING HONOURS FOR TATE.

(THROUGH REUTZE'S AGENCY.)

LONDON, July 30%

After the stop for tea, James who had previously collected 3 runs resumed his inninga, Cromt being at the other end of the wicket, but no sooner had he scored a single than James put his foot in front of a straight 'un from Brown, the umpire ruling in favour of the bowler to send Jantes back to the pavilion with only 4 runs. The total now, stood at 168 for §.

FORCED TO FOLLOW ON.

Merritt joined Cromb and these two held the fort for a while until the former gave Hammond a 'chance off Verity which was accepted. He had scored 8 runs the total now being 198. for 9. Allent! Alled the breach and with Cromh took the total to 183 when the latter was caught by Hammond off Vority. He collected 8 runs, Allcott being 6 not out while "Mr. Extras" contributed 16. With 293 runs behind in the first innings, New Zealand were forced to follow on, Mills and Weir starting their innings. It was- indeed an uphil fight and although neither batsman took any risks, Weir was beaten by one of Poobles' wrong'uns" when he had collected but six runs, the total standing at 19 for 1. Pago joined Mills and after only three runs had been added to the total, stamps were drawn. Milla was 10 not out while Page had not yet opened his account and six were from extras.

Thus New Zealand, at the end of the second day's play, were 201 runs in arrears with zine wickets in hand, c

NEW ZEALAND'S DIFFICULT TASK.

London, July 31.

Four thousand people paid gate when the third (and last), day's play in the Test opened at the Oval. The weather was dull but the wicket good and Mills and Page, the overnight not outs, went out to resume New Zealand's innings. Page was very slow and left most of the scoring to Mills, who appeared to have got his eye in. When the overnight total of 22 for 1 was carried to 38, however, further misfortune befell the New Zealanders for one of Tate's de liveries disturbed Pago's stamps. Page had made only 3 runs, but just as things looked very black for the New Zealanders he kept up his end admirably. Blunt joined Mills and these two settled down to play steadily until Mills (30) was, bowled by Brown at 51 for 3.

* Giff” Vivian was next maa in and with him and Blunt to--- gether, New Zealand's hopes began to rise as these two brought the total ta,139 before the newcomer was smartly taken by Brown off Peebles. This young dashing loft-hander made a heroic effort to save his side and he was given a tremendous ovation when he made his way back to the pavilion with 81 to his credit. "Giff". was at the wickets for one and a half hours during which time he scored the first aixer of the match when he pulled Verity over the ropea. He also got four boundaries and on the whole played very attractive cricket.

Tom Lowry then came out to bat but before he huch opened his. account play was adjourned for lunch, Blunt being: 34 not out,

ENGLAND WINS.

Lowry and Blunt were given a good reception as they made their way to the wicket to restime their innings after the luncheon interval The Now Zealand skipper was not destined to stay long for after four moré runs had been added to his side's total, he gave a chance to Duleepsinhji at slips which was eagerly accepted. Lowry was out for a "duck!" Kerr joined Blunt, and, realising the gravity of the situation, the new-comer took no chances, being. content to play himself in. The score mounted slowly but steadily but at 162 Blunt, who had played good cricket all along, kas bowled by Peebles for 43-102-0-43. Kerr now had James as his partner and these two players were very careful. The good 'uns they treated with respect but the bose 'uns were punished. When the total was one short of 190. Kerr was clean bowled by Tate for 29 runs. Cromb joined. James phly to see the latter being caught by Peebles off Verity for. 10 runs with the total standing at the same figure,

The end was how in sight. Merritt joined Cromb and when they had taken the total to ID for the newcomer was out by the .b.w., route to Tâte for, 4 runs. Allcott came and want, being caught by Allen off Verity after he had scored a single, Cromb being not out for 3. “Mr. Extras" helped with 18 to bring the total up to 197 Tale with 3 for 22, was England's most successful bowler for this innings.
