> The second cricket test match England v. West J ndies was begun at Old 'l'rafford, Manchester, on Saturday. There were 12,000 spectators. The visitors won the toss and batted first. '1 hey had scored 333 ruiuj for bix wickets when stumps were drawn. The teams were:— West Indies. —Koach, Barrow, lieadley, I Hoad, Grant, Wiles, Constantino, Da | Cvijca, Aciiong, Alartindale and Valentine. I England.—v. K. Jardine, K. E. S. | W.vaii, L'. I'. Walters, K. W. V. Kobins, ii. Sutclill'o, W. K. Hammond, L. E. G. Ames, James Langridge, H. Verity, G. G. .Ma can lay and E. C. Clark. The pitch was as hard as granite when play began, lioach and Barrow lacing the bowling of Clark and -Maeaulay. The first wicket fell within twenty minutes, Clark ciean bowling Roach for 13. With the advent of Headle.v the bowling was changed, Kobins and Verity coming on, but the partnership was not broken at the luncheon adjournment. A feature of the morning play was i Walters' brilliant outfielding. Barrow and lieadley, although cautious, scored at a good rate, adding 53 runs in the first hour after the adjournment. Kobins, Clark, Verity, Maeaulay, Hammond and Langridge were all tried with the ball, only Langridge giving the batsmen trouble. Two hundred was signalled after 3V& hours' play, Barrow beautifully on-driving Kobins to the boundary. He reached his century in 3% hours. lieadley also reached his century in the same over amid ringing cheers. With the total at 220 Wyatt clean bowled Barrow, breaking a partnership which lasted 3'/i hours. Barrow hit nine fours. After the tea interval Grant, following Hoad, batted steadily, and it seemed | likely a second partnership would be established, but after half an hour Ames caught Grant at the wicket oil' Kobins, | th" score being 260 for four wickets. Constantino followed and scored 24 in i almost the same number of minutes. He | sent up three hundred with a four off Clark._ after the match had been in proI grtrs tor live hours. Two runs later he j was beautifully caught at 31 by .Kobins ' off Clark. The sixth wicket fell for another four runs, when Wiles tipped a ball to Hammond off Verity. lieadley continued to bat cautiously until the close, when he was unbeaten with 145.
