(From the special correspondent of the United Press Association with the team).

LONDON, July 31.

The weather was beautifully fine and the wicket good for the opening of the second match between the New Zealand cricketers and Glamorgan, at Swansea.

With Cowie under .treatment, for gastric influenza in London, and Dunning and Roberts unable to play, jthe New Zealanders?.faced; the difficult task of attempting to dislodge a county standing sixth oh the championship table. They succeeded creditably wityt very steady bowling;' shppofted'%y safe caching, / ' / .. -

Lamason bowled of ; admirable length. , At one ( period; his figures .were eight overs, four .maidens, eight runs, three wickets. Moloney turned the ball well and maintained a good length. r Page and Carson.; were useful supports, w'i'.r-' ' jj

Vivian/ after a yety fine'spell of accurate bowling, split a-finger-and retired. Gallichan maintained a steady length and was remarkably ihekpensive. The Swansea wicket was fast, but receptive to spin. > ; .o .p y j

The Welsh crowd showed its,typical fervour at the sensational opening of New Zealand’s innings.- Matthews, j the former Northants fast-medium bowler, who is now coaching at 'Stowe; School, and who qualified for the team-through his birth at Penarth, took two wickets with successive balls in his first over. Clay and Jones, of the. same type as Goddard, also had quick successes. ,

New Zealand scored 100 in an hour, but lost six wickets. All the batsmen were forcing the pace. Another wicket fell in the last over. Vivian, Lamason and Gallichan are yet to bat. The match coincided with the start of the bank holidays. The attendance was about 5000. Scores :
