Cricket ENGLAND WINS SECOND TEST

India Beaten By Eight Wickets (N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, June 20.

England won the second test match against India by eight wickets, with more than two days to spare at Lord's today, to take a 2-0 lead in the live-match series. India has yet to gain a test victory over England in this country, although it has scored

one win over England in India. I England won the first test in the present series by an innings and 59 runs at Trent Bridge, Nottingham. i India, with a first innings deficit of 58. had reached 108 for foui wickets in its innings by the close on the second day, but was all out for 165 soon after lunch todaysetting England 108 to win : England lost its opening batsmen, K. A. Taylor and C. A. Milton, for 12 runs—each batsman scoring three—but M. C. Cowdrey

y and the England captain. P. B. H May, rattled up the necessary 96 . runs in 70 minutes in then I unbroken third-wicket stand I Cowdrey’s 63 not out included one I six and 10 fours. May's 33 contained four boundaries.

The loss of P. Roy and P. R. : Umrigar to the third and fourth i balls of F. S. Trueman's opening i over yesterday without a run 'scored dampened hopes of a j second innings fight by India. I Both fell to superb catches—Roy ; to May at third slip and Umrigar ito M. Horton in the gully. Earlier a magnificent 80 by K. Barrington, the 28-year-old Surrey batsman, led a rearguard action by England, who made 226 in reply to India's first innings total of 168. j Scores:— I Scores:— INDIA First Innings ..168 Second Innings |P.
