Received June 2, 9.30 a.m. LONDON, June 1. The New Zealand cricket team showed more confidence and aggression in their batting to-day against Lancashire, and scored freely, but Lancashire forced a win by eight'wickets after a declaration had been made by New Zealand. Hadlee and Moloney carefully took the score to 03. Donnelly then enterprisingly forced the pace, hitting four fours and a three, and scoring a run a minute. While Had.ee puisued Ins unhurried way, Wallace attacked with vigour and grace, piercing the field with well-placed, well-timed strokes, hitting ten fours in the first 50 minutes and 1/ tours altogether. His driving and hooking were a treat to watch. Hadlee batted with great patience, staying two and a-half hours while, a score of 172 was compiled. 'liie declaration left the county two and a half hours to make , 19(5. A catch at silly mid-on gave a wicket in the first over to Cowie, but Paynter and lddon, becoming set, rattled on 113 in 75 minutes before a good catch was made at cover by Wallace. lddon and Oldfield were hitting almost every ball and maintained the pace. Roberts and Weir were relied on mainly to slow down the scoring.
