ALL INDIA V. ENGLAND. (United Press Association —By Electric, Telegraph-Copyright.) LONDON, June 25. A crowd of ’24,000 people at the -4U&vda’ ground saw a strong English side give a disappointing display against the visitors’ fast bowling in the first Anglo-Indian test match that has ever been played, England lost Sutcliffe, Holmes and Woolley within half an hour for only 19 runs, The sorry position was retrieved by Jardine, the captain, who played ft splendid innings. He gave a model exhibition for two and three-quarter hours. Paynter was again disappointing. Had the solid, fast howling of Amar Singh and Mahommed Nissar been supported by safer Indian fielding England would not have approached even two hundred rune. As it was, England scored 259 runs in their first innings, while Mahommed Nissar took five wickets for 93. Scores: ENGLAND—First Innings. iSutcliffe, b M.
