CRICKET

ENGLISHMEN AT NELSON HOME TEAM LOSE FIVE FOR 131 By Telegraph.—Press Association. Nelson, December 20. Gilligan sent Nelson in to bat on a good wicket to-day at the commencement of the cricket match Nelson v. M.C.O. Earle, Legge, and Bowley are not playing. The local team made a poor start," losing two wickets for 13. However, Neale and S. Newman became associated in a partnership for the third wicket, which realised 65 runs. Newman executed pretty shots off Barrett to the off boundary, and was missed early in the innings in the slips off Nichols, with whom the. batsmen were not troubled. Neale batted faultlessly until 30 when missed twice in the last over before lunch, when two wickets were down for 70. Six bowlers were tried before lunch. On resuming, Duleepsinhji, who was sending down twisty ones, had Neale caught on the leg side. He had batted 90 minutes. In the next over Allom skittled Newman, and four wickets were down for 75. Allom then had throe wickets for six runs off eight overs. Eden and Jenkins came to light with a bright partnership of 58 for the fifth wicket, Duleepsinhji proving expensive in one over. Eden hit two fours, a sixer and another four off consecutive balls from the Indian, 19 coming off the over. Eden made 30 in 30 minutes. One hundred runs were made in 110 minutes. Frequent bowling changes were made without effect until Nichols took the first wicket, Cornford brilliantly catching Jenkins behind the stumps. > . . . Soon after three o’clock rain set in and stumps were drawn, Nelson having five wickets down for 131. The wicket was covered. , . NELSON—First Innings.
