WEST INDIES WIN

ENGLAND SLUMP IN SECOND INNINGS (Rec. 10.45 a.m.) LONDON, August IG. Kisses and hugs and a new calypso greeted the West Indians’ innings and 56 runs victory in the fourth and final test against England at the Oval to-day. The result gave the tourists a threeone win for the rubber. The match came to an abrupt end when England, forced to follow on 159 runs behind on a sticky wicket, could secure only 103. England began a disastrous day 221 runs behind the West Indies’ first innings total of 503. with six wickets in hand. Overnight rain and brilliant morning sun had the wicket sticky and treacherous. England collapsed sensationally, failing by 10 runs to avert a followon. * Scores: WEST INDIES First innings .. •• •• 503 ENGLAND First Innings Hutton, not out . . . - - • 202 Simpson, c Jones, b Valentine .. 30 Sheppard, b Ramaclhin .. • • 44 Compton, run out 44 Dewes, c Worrell, b Valentine .. 17 Bailey, c Weekes, b Goddard . • 18 Brown, c and b Valentine .. 0 Mclntyre, c and b Valentine .. 4 Bedser, Ibw, b Goddard .. •• 0 Hilton, b Goddard .. •• •• 3 Wright., Ibw. b Goddard .. •• 4 Extras 11 /Total • •• •• 344 Bowling--Jones took none for 70, Worrell none for 30, Ramadhin one for 63.
