THE ENGLISH ELEVEN v. AUOK LAND.

[By Thleobaph.j' AEOKBAND, February 2. The three days’ match between the All England Eleven and the Auckland Twentytwo commenced to-day. The weather was splendid, and 2000 people were present. Captain Lambert was umpire for Auckland, and Lillywbite for the English team. Mumford was elected captain of the Auckland team, and won the toss, and elected to go in with Testro. Shaw and Barlow were bowling. The fourth ball from Shaw was too much for Mumford, and ho retired w ill a duck’s egg. Owing to Feate’s illness, King lidded for him till lunch. O’Brien succeeded Mumford, but also retired for a duck’s egg. Cox filled the vacancy, and played steadily, Testro being shortly thrown out by a good throw from Ellyett. Yates filled his place, and shortly after Oox retired for one run. O’Neill succeeded him, but in jntt ng one away from Barlow to the off, Midwinter caught him. After lunch Lynch joined Yates, and they played well together until 26 appeared, when Yates was bowled by Barlow, and went out with double figures. Yates was cheered on returning to the pavilion. Dewes came next and made things lively for a minute or two, but was caught by Shaw in the slips. Lynch got into double figures, but his partner, Thompson, had to succumb to Straw, Gardner filling the vacancy, but shortly after was stumped by filling. Robinson came in, but his career was brief, retiring with a duck’s egg, Feroy Dnfaur succeeded, and opened out for a drive of 2, but was quickly caught by Shaw off Barlow, half a century being registered. Whiteside came next. After a good innings Lynch was clean bowled by Barlow, his nineteen being the top score of the day, and the best cricket displayed. Bindon followed, being bowled by Shaw with the first ball. Lankham came in, and Whiteside sent the ball baok to Shaw and retired. Earral succeeded, Lankham being shortly bowled out by Barlow. Cameron filled the breach when 63 was up, and off the first ball from Barlow, made the hit of the day, a clean drive to the off for 4. Earral was shortly afterwards bowled by Shaw. Isaacs came next. Cameron, after a pretty innings of 16, was caught by Shaw off Barlow, King succeeding. Isaacs and King together kept up the batting for close on an hour, both playing well, King ultimately succumbing to Shaw for 13. Buckland came out, but retired almost immediately for a duck’s egg. Dcnovan followed, making a score of 10, when he was bowled by Shaw. Bowden came in, who shortly put the ball into Feate’s hands, the innings thus closing for 122. Isaacs was not out with 12. The fielding of the Englishmen in the first part of the game was splendid, hut towards the close was rather loose. Shaw secured twelve wickets, and Barlow eight. Auckland thus makes the top score of the colony.

Ellyett commenced to score with a single off Lynch’s over, and Barlow followed with three singles, when Lankham disposed of him with a very pretty ball—4 —I—3. Selby was the next man. Ellyett got 4 for a grand drive off Lynch and rrn another single. Several godd hits were spoiled by the smart fielding. Lankham is bowling well; his analysis now shows one wicket for 1 run, with throe maidens out of four overs. Ellyett damaged his next over by patting the first away beautifully to long-leg for 4, bringing up 10 on the board. Selby contributed several singles, and Lynch suffered again at Ellyett’s hands, a drive for 2 bringing up 20. Selby cut both bowlers for singles, then Lynch sent a tempting one to Ellyett, who skied it. Robinson was the field, and accepted his chance without a murmur. Ellyett, who had played very prettily for 14, was loudly cheered 23 —2 singles came from both ends without any event, except the missing of a good chance to run out by Cox’s bid throwing in. Selby followed with a cut from Bates for 2, with a like performance, and 30 went up on the board. Robinson's and Buokland’s fielding was favorably remarked on. The large and active field kept down the runs, ond singles came slowly without variation, beyond a fine leg hit by Selby for 2, and one to square-leg by Bates for the same number. At last. Bates, in playing a shooter from Lankham, allowed it to find its way into his wicket. —47—3—14. Shrewsbury succeeded him.
