(Received 31, 10.25 a.m.) LONDON, AUg. 30. The New Zealand cricketers, playing against Sussex, brilliantly compiled the highest seore ever made by New Zealand in a first-class match in England, eelipsing the total of 541 against Derby in 1927 and 488 against Oxford in 1931. Sussex, with Tate bowling fairly fast, and Langridge and Parlts keeping aceurato length, was a good bowling side, but the batsmen were overwhelraingly supreme, runs coming at a brisk pace. The innings lasted ouly six hours. Wallace and Donnelly played delightful cricket, and added 124 in 57 mhiutes. Wallace displayed exceilent footwork and perfect timing, and w'as completely at ease facing all bowlers. In his second century of the tour, which took two hours to compile, he hit 11 fours and one six. Donnelly played wristy strokes all round the wieket, hitting 11 fours and two sixes, Moloney and Roberts together added 100 in 51 minutes. Moloney was attractively free, driving, gliding and cutting with easy skill. He hit seven fours. Roberts 's cover and straiglit driving was superb. He hit ten fours in compiling his highest score of the tour. New Zealand followed its fine batting was inspired bowling and fielding. Cowie had two quick successes, once sending the middle stump cart-wheeling for half a chain. Lowry sqou introduced the spinners. Donnelly, keeping an accurate length, took three wickets for seven runs in the first six overs. It was his best bowling since the match against Yorkshire. Sussex lost seven wickets for 5(5 runs, an amazing collapse on a perfect piteh. Langridge was the euly batsman able to handle the attack, hitting brilliantly. His seoro included 12 ..fours and one six. The eighth-wicket partnership held up the tourists for threequarters of an hour. Extra time was played to securo a result. 0 T2 - New Zealand fielding was firstclass, fine catches being made in the slips by Roberts and Tindill. Clever captaincy, fine batting, resolute bowling and capital fielding eombined to give the tourists a brilliant victory. Scores: — NEW ZEALAND. First Innings.
