FIRST TEST.

ENGLAND WINS. BY 93 RUNS. Australia' Gets 335 Runs in Second Innings. • BBADMA2TS PINE EFFOKT. United p.A.-Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Received 11 a.m.) LOMSON, June 17. Tq the first Test match at Trent Bridge Kottingham, England won by 93 runs, Australia being dismissed in e se eond innings for 330 runs. ■tflsn the match was resumed this morning the weather was fine, though !oom / and overcast, following upon drizzlig rain at midnight. The wicket wa s in "a doubtful state owing to worn patches. _ England is without tie services of iar/ood, who is suffering from acute gastritis and has been ordered to bed by his doctor for the day. Hβ breeze scarcely stirred the flags _T, m Chapman led" out the English Team Duleepsinhji fielding instead of Sutclifie and S. H. Copley instead of Tarwood. Thus the ill-luck, which for:^erl7 was all Australia's, turned against England. • It was an unusual .spectacle to see a ••ricketer w ho had never played m a ■ W-claSs match figuring in a dramatic •Test Copley is a member of the ■Kottingham second eleven—a professional. . Ponsford and Bradman continued batHammond, who had not bowled earlier, shared the attack with Tate. About'lO,ooo spectators were present at ■the commencement of play. Hammond nearly bowled Ponsford in Hs second over. The ball kept very low. In the third over he got one on Brad•man's legs, but fhe appeal was not allowed. Bradman was very cautiou3, but Ponsford was more daring, as if he appreciated the absence of Larwood, against whom he was never comfortable. ■ Bradman took nearly half £ji hour to add four to his score. It was quite apparent that he appreciated the gravity of the situation, and was taking no chances, until he was properly set. Hammond bowled three successive maidens. He struck a splendid length. Feeling was now tense. As Chapman never believes in a bowler staying long at any end unless he is getting wickets Tyldesley replaced him. Kuns came slowly, which was only in accordance with expectations, as the first half hour was regarded probably as Australia's most critical period. Moreover, a draw was Australia's primary . consideration. Tate bowled Ponsford when the bats- - man had made 39. Kippax followed" and had made 23 when Robins got him caught by Hammond. lonsford had batted 100 minutes and ' Lad hit three fours. The partnership added 81 in 80 minutes, leaving Australia 336 to get for victory, with eight ■wickets in hand. It was a big order .even with the weakened attack. Kippax had a narrow escape of being run out, Copley throwing down one of hia stumps with a splendid return. ; "Then the batsman survived a confident appeal for leg before. Bradman smiled broadly as Tate and Duckworth chorused loudly: "How's that?" When Bradman had made 61 he snicked Tyldesley into Duckworth's lands. The all" Hew to Hammond at short slip, tut the deflection caused Hammond'to drop it. It was a narrow escape. Eobins replaced Tyldesley, who had ' bowled well, buc unluckily, for 75 minutes. Kippax immediately drove Eobins for two fours in the same over. .The batsman collapsed, when a ball from Hammond struck him on the leg, but 'resumed shortly afterwards. Kippax went out in the third over from Eobins, touching a ball to short slip. Ha had batted 65 minutes. McCabe commenced with a boundary shot. Tate came on again at 156, and bowled a maiden to Bradman, who had not hit a four in his two hours at the wicket. • McCabe hit Eobins for three fours. Bos bright batting was the outstanding feature of an otherwise unexciting morning's hatting. Bradman al3o hastened the rate of scoring and became top- ■ scorer of the match. At lunch McCabe had' made 32 in half and hour, including five fours. Brad- . man played his most restrained innings , of the- tour. , ; Scores:— ENGLAND.
