ENGLAND SCORING WELL

BADCOCK'S BOWLING

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, This Day. Play was lesumed in the cricket Test match in bright, sultry weather. The attendance waa 2000 and rapidly grew as the play proceeded. Badcock in his second over beat Hammond with a ball that just topped the bails. Dunning, in his second over, clean bowled Wyatt with one that the batsman did not attempt to play, but ■which- took his off stump. "139—2—G0. Play had been in progress for. 12 minutes. 1 Paynter came in and opened with a beautiful leg glance. James was frequently applauded for his skilful taking of balls on the leg side. Badcoek was bowling extremely well, his first five overa costing only 7 Tuns, and Hammond, who was now warming up, kept a close eye on him. New Zealand's score was passed when play had been resumed for 23 minutes, and ten,minutes later 170 appeared on the board. At 178 Newman relieved Dunning and the scoring again slowed down, Paynter was more enterprising than Hammond, but although ho played every ball of Freeman's next over he could not penetrato the well placed field. ''■ Newman relieved Badcock, who had bowled a dozen overs for 14 runs, and the scoring proceeded in singles. : The second century went up after 177 minutes' play. There was somo barracking about the slow scoring, but the batsmen ,were undisturbed. At lunch the score was two wickets for 286. , , . Tho ■ spectators gave. -Hammond, an ovation'as he beautifully glanced Badcock twice, bringing up the century after ,135 minutes. He then straight drovo Dunning for six. With tho total at 227, Weir tried •with, the ball for the first- time in the match, and Hammond cut him to the boundary,: but in tho next over was nearly bowled by a shooter past the leg stump.

In 75 minutes the partnership had added 100 runs, Hammond then being 124 and Paynter 27, and the score soon reached 250. After 210 minutes Hammond gave his first chance at 133 when Dunning got his right hand to the ball well aboVo his head but was unable to hold it.
