Inspired Bowling by Hollies .Received Sunday, 7.30 p.m. GEORGETOWN, Eeb. 16. The weather was fine and the wicket good for Kie resumption of the third Test. The West Indies emulated England’s glow-motion play against keen bowling and fielding until Headley’s cutting and on driving revived the game. He batted for 90 minutes and' hit seven boundaries. Wishart batted for 200 minutes and on one occasion he did not score for 25 minutes, despite the batsman’s wicket. The crowd barracked the bowlers owing to over many oil deliveries override for the batsmen to reach. Hollies, after tea, had an inspired spell and lie was flighting them deceptively and changing his pace cleverly. He was chiefly responsible for tho last seven wickets falling in the five concluding overs, and he took five wickets *or g runs. Scores:— WEST INDIES. ' First Innings.
