CRICKET.
Australian Press Assn.—United Service
LONDON, June 18
Rain throughout the country interfered ivith the games. England made 247 runs for 3 wickets (Sutcliffe 101, Hallows 55, E. Tyldesley not out 64). (Received this day at 12.25 p.m,) v LONDON. June 18. At Lords, the crowd had a dull day and the cricket was of tho slowest. Sutcliffe and Hallows were not taking risks, and showed that England’s alteiriative opening pair in Hobbs’ absence were capable of a century for the first wicket. Hallows scored at a rate of 25 per hour, was twice missed and fin- : ally disposed of by a fine catch by Ames who kept the wickets most brilliantly, suggesting it will be a close race between him and' Smith for the wicketkeepership in the West Indian test. Smith also kept perfectly for the “Rest.” The batsmen flattered tho bowling, which- was gcod in length and direction, but without brilliance. ' Nichols’s pace apparently surprised Sutcliffe and Tyldesley. ' A section of the spectators tired, of ultra-correct •hatting as the afternoon wore.on and began barracking.
