Ewert, in the first day of the match played at the High School ground on Saturday. Andrews, who performed so creditably behind the stumps against the Auckland Colts' earlier in the week, had the unusual distinction for a No. 1 of carrying his bat for 119, including 18 fours, when the innings was declared witn 233 on for tne loss of four wickets. Ngongotaha had replied with 78 for six wickets down when stumps were drawn, Sherriff being the principal bowler, with four wickets to his credit. Details: — OLD BOYS — First Innings E.
