Cowie "was dcadly, hisi lunch figuresbeing: 14 overs, 2 maidens,i 38 runs, 3 wickets. Oue was caught in| the slips and one behind the wickets. j After lunch, the batsmen taking fullj advantage of the favourable"conditions,j gradually assumed completo mastery.j Aird helped in a 67-run paTtnership,j Pothecary and Creese, two left hand-1 ers, added 109 and Herman gave a fine| exhibition, hitting 11 fours, two slxesj and two threes. New Zealand tried seven bowlers and Dunning was the only one able to restrain the batsmen for long. The fielding was a strange mixture. On tho ground it was brilliant and in the air It was erratic.
