Their joint statement said: "No one can prevent us from carrying on our sporting activities, particularly since we have now decided to go to Ame-

London, July 15-A seventh-wicket partnership of 70 runs in 40 minutes between Godfrey Evans and Roland Jenkins prevented The Gentlemen gaining their first victory at Lord's since 1938.
Ignoring the peculiarities of the wicket, which was freshened by overnight rain, they hit out boldly to give The Players a four-wicket win. Jenkins had 41 not out and Evans 40 not out.
