ENGLAND’S BIG WIN IN CRICKET TEST

Dominion Women Outclassed BUT IMPROVE GREATLY IN SECOND STRIKE By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, February 18. The touring English women’s cricket team won the Test match against New Zealand to-day by an innings and 337 runs. For the benefit of the spectators the English team continued its innings, though a declaration at Saturday’s score of four for 432 would have been safe, and the innings was closed at five wickets for 503. New Zealand made a much better showing in the second Innings, but less than two hours sufficed for the English bowlers to dismiss the side for 122 runs. For the time that New Zealand was in the field to-day its bowling and fielding were much improved. The only catches dropped were very difficult ones. For New Zealand, Marks, one of the opening pair, was last to be dismissed. She made only 23 in 119 minutes at the wickets. Symons, the New Zealand captain, was unable to bat owing to an injury received while fielding, and Buck had to retire through being struck while batting well. Detailed scores: NEW ZEALAND.
