HIGH SCORING

IN ENGLAND-NEW SOUTH WALES MATCH HOME TEAM LEADS ON FIRST INNINGS By Telegraph—Press Association-Copyright. (Rec. February 21, 7.35 p.m.) Sydney, February 21. Play in the match England v. New South Wales was continued in bright, warm weather to-day. The attendance was 10,000. Dolphin was substituted for Hobbs, who left the field late on Saturday afternoon through a strained tendon. Punch and Taylor, emulating their predecessors, took no liberties, but not sparing any loose ones. Punch quickly forged ahead of his partner, but lacked the latter’s stylishness. In the last over before lunch he tamely lifted one from Fender at outside mid-on, which. Dolphin accepted. The pair had added 113 to the score by the partnership. 6 —59—381. After lunch Taylor livened up, executing brilliant shots which were neutralised only by the excellent fielding of Woolley and" Hendren. The English attack lacked fire, Rhodes making the seventh bowler unable to find the stumps. Wilson commanded most respect, sending down several maidens. Folkard broke the chain of double figures by being caught behind the wickets by Strudwick when nine. Wilson dropped Taylor, off Douglas, at point when 89. In the next over Taylor brought the score up to England’s with a brace to the on in 334 minutes, tho same as England. In the succeeding over he reached the century. Hendry, when five, tipped Douglas to Strudwick, and was smartlv caught. In the next over Oldfield was bowled first ball. Douglas, who hit Malley’s middle peg next ball, brought his average to seven wickets for 98 runs. Taylor carried his bat after a careful display, disclosing a repertoire of brilliant all-round-the-wicket strokes. England’s second innings started badly. Hobbs being unable to open, Woolley and Rhodes faced the bowling of Gregory and Hendry. The first ball Mailey, in the slips, dropped Woolley off GregoryAt 2S Mailey caught Rhodes in the elips off Hendry." Makepeace went first ball, ripping Gregory to the slips, Punch brought off a brilliant cat f“Hendren and Woolley then collared the bowling, Collins ultimately trying seven, bowlers without avail. Both batsmen scared rapidly, interspersing their innings with frequent boundaries. _ At ba Collins dropped Woolley, off Mailey, at extra mid-off. The batsman showed his appreciation by hitting the next ball for six, and forcing the pace he reached 15u after a fine display. Hendren, after completing a serviceable 66, was caught by Oldfield off Gregory, five minutes before stumps were drawn. The following are the scores: NEW SOUTH WALES. First Innings. Bardsley, c.
