Received Julv 22, 9.20 a.m. DUNFERMLINE, July 21. The commencement of the cricket match New Zealand versus Scotland was delayed until after lunch owing to rain. The wicket had been covered, but it was soft and the outfield very slow when the tourists went out to hat. The day ended with seven New Zealand wicKets down for 209.

Cowie, Dunning, Vivian, Moloney, Kerr, and Tindill are resting for the Test and are not playing. Roberts is included; but is unlikely to bowl because of a stiff shoulder. The side is completed by the inclusion of W. H. Biekley, the New Zenland journalist, who is covering the tour lor the United Press Association.

The Scotland team is Tod, Gibb, Anderson, Farquhar, Heggie, McTavish, Melville, Paris, Smith, Stevenson, and Cliffe. • .. Hadlee was aggressive, ofl-drivmg and hooking in fine style. Roberts batted steadily, his shoulder standing the strain well. After tea the drying wicket favoured the left-hander, Melville, while Farquhar, the fasLmedmm howler, was also effective. Five wickets were down for 119. Scotland were bowling and. fielding well. , hut Weir and Page added 50 at a difficult time. New Zealand’s score would have been much larger if the wet outfield had not reduced to twos many strokes which ordinarily would have been fours. . , .
