M.C.C. AT GISBORNE
ENGLISHMEN BATTING
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) GISBORNE. This Day. Excellent weather conditions prevailed this morning for the commencement of the match between the M.C.C. team and Poverty Bay. Holmes won the toss and the Englishmen took first use of a wicket which had responded well to special preparation, but the wearing qualities of which appeared doubtful. Sims opened the visitors' score with a single, but a few balls later was clean bowled by Blathwayt. Hardstaff joined. Parks and by noon the pair had carried the score to 38. The slow bowlers reduced the scoring rate,1 but the half-century appeared in 35 minutes. Hardstaff, with fine scoring strokes, soon overhauled Parks, but after scoring 39 was bowled by Blathwayt. Holmes, after opening quietly, was tempted to open out to Stewart, and was caught by Sharp with a beautiful one-hand -effort. At lunch three wickets were down for 90. Details:— Parks, not out 36 Sims, b Blathwayt 1 Hardstaff, b Blathwayt 39 Holmes, c Sharp, b Stewart .'. 8 Mitchell-Innes, not out 4 Extras 2 Total for three wickets 90
