MATCH WITH LANCASHIRE. COWIE BOWLS WELL. SOME FINE FIELDING. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (From the Special Correspondent of the Press Associationw ith the Team.) Received June 1, 10.15 a.m. LONDON, May 31. Tlie New Zealand cricketers continued their match with Lancashire, their first innings closing for 282. Tlie county replied with a score of 314. Cowie was tlie best of the Dominion bowlers, ending the innings with an average of four for 60. In their second innings New Zealand have lost one wicket for 18 runs. The New Zealanders bowled pertinaciously oil a wicket as hard as a concrete road, but success depended too much on Cowie and Roberts. The former had another good day, never being mastered. He opened with nine overs, three maidens, 16 runs and two wickets; one being caught at squareleg and the other howled next ball, besides having a catch dropped in the slips. Lancashire topped the century without further loss, but after lunch Tindill smartly stumped Paynter'and Wallace brilliantly ran out Oldfield. New Zealand then gained a grip on tlie gaiwe, five wickets falling in two hours for 109. Roberts was rewarded for his strenuous striving with two wickets, another chance being missed in the slips otl him. Weir proved an effective change bowler. Phillipson, who played really well, Duckworth, Pollard and Wilkinson saved the county by determined batting and 44 runs were added in the last-wicket stand, which was broken only by a fine catch off his own bowling by .Moloney. Except for two dropped catches the fielding was generally clean and some times brilliant, but the slow bowling did not disturb the batsmen and the bowling was almost wholly left to tho faster men. The New Zealanders were again unable to get a good start, Page falling in the first over, snicking a bumper which he tried to hook. Hadlee and Moloney carefully played out time. The attendance was 3000. Details: — NEW ZEALAND. First Innings.
