Tke New Zealand bowlers stuek gameiy to their difficult task of dismissing seven batsmen in tke tkree hours dfter Iundh. Cowie bowled witk tons of energy, but did not kave an. ounce of luck, several tiines shaving tke strumps and being snieked past fieldsm ek. Dunning also bowled better tkan tke final figures suggest. Page was never scored from freeiy, wkile Vivian eaptured a valuable wicket. Donnelly was inexpensive and effective after tea. Only during the first wieket partnerskip did the bowling appear masrtered. The fielding was unwavering an.d a brilliant catch was taken at first slip ay Page.
