By D. R. JARDINE

London, June 28. Just before six o'clock, at Lord's yesterday, England won the Test match against the West Indies by eight wickets. This in spite of some time lost to bad light, and a century in each innings from Headley's bt. Six bats- men have performed this feat in Test matches, but Head- ley joins Sutcliffe in being the only player who has done it twice in such matches. The others are Bardsley, Russell, Hammond and Paynter. The feat has never before been performed at Lord's.
