CRICKET.

Second Test Match. sp hes Per Press Association. W ellinoton, March 9. Ka There was much better cricket to-day Ur than on Friday 322 runs being scored taagainst 245. When Branston and Pago an resumed play they Iran up the score fast ' and were not separated till 127 was (B reached. „ c ®! After them De-Traffiord hit out for a oti while and the innings closed at 160. dc Upham and Fisher took all the wickets 20 and had good average, but fielding was th not so good as it should have been, and I ha this applies tc Englishmen as well. The he wicker did not play at all well, and when m N.Z. went' in to bat. Douglas, with his _hc fiery deliveries, bumped so much that he or kept the batsmen in a continual state of th alarm, and did damage to some of them, to Three wickets fell for 33, then the Auck- h< land pair, Hemus and Haddon, made a te useful stand for 48. The latter with 2i Williams made a long stay after being w missed at 14. Haddon showed good form ini on the leg side, but was not batting so ci powerfully as his partner. Eventually ho was caught in the slips with the score D at 188, and theu the wickets fell faster, x till by 6 o’clock, nine had been got rid of. n Williams of Wellington, however, could 4 not be shifted. In tho last hour of play " ho scored vei'y slowly, a blow he received on tho arm evidently interfering with his usual freedom, but ho has 69 to his , credit, and was largely responsible, after Haddon went, for the respectable total of 242. Ho had some luck in tho field. Tho sum of £3OO was taken at the gates So far, both attendance and the weather " have been good.
