Requiring 39 to win against Hawkes Bay, the Australians went to the wickets at 3.53, Trumper and M'Gregor being the opening batsmen.

Trumper then sent Ellis to leg for a couple, and hit the left-hander to the boundary next over. The same batsman brought up 20 with a drive off Ellis. Geake relieved Ellis, and was promptly sent to the boundary by Trumper for 4. The next ball was dispatched for 6, and then Geake clean bowled the champion, who had played good cricket. I—21 — 23 — 37. Waddy, who succeeded Trumper, hit his first ball for 4, bringing up 41, and putting the visitors in the lead. Australia thus won by nine wickets. Scores :—: — HAWKES BAY.
