CRICKET MATCH AT LEEDS
ENGLAND AGAIN WINS THE TOSS LUNCH SCORE 96 FOR TWO WICKETS England's cricket test match luck still held yesterday when with honours even—a win to each side and one drawn game—the fourth test was commenced on the Leeds ground. For the third time Wyatt won the toss and for the third time England had first use of the wicket, a valuable advantage. There were several changes in England's side, the most notable absentee being Sutcliffe, who was unable to play. New Zealanders will also regret that James Langridge, of Sussex, a former Auckland coach, did not find a place in tne team. Unprecedented interest was taken in the match as a win for England will mean the retention of the Ashes whatever the result of the final test may be. Crowds began to assemble early and the spectators numbered 25,000 when Walters, who has displayed remarkable batting consistency, and the newcomer, Keeton, opened England's innings. At the luncheon interval the score was 96 for two wickets.
