INNINGS WIN

WOMEN CRICKETERS

ENGLAND’S TEST VICTORY

HOME SIDE’S IMPROVED FORM

(Per United Press Association.)

Christchurch, February 18.

The touring English women’s cricket team won the Test match against New Zealand to-day by an innings and 337 runs.

For the benefit of the spectators, the English team continued their innings, though a declaration at Saturday’s score of four for 432 would have been safe, and the innings was closed at five wickets for 503. New Zealand made a much better showing in the second innings, but less than two hours sufficed for the English bowlers to dismiss the side for 122 runs. For the time that New Zealand was in the field to-day, the bowling and fielding were much improved. The only catches dropped were very difficult ones. For New Zealand, Miss Marks, one of the opening pair, was the last to be dismissed. She made only 23 in 119 minutes at the wickets. Miss Symons, the New Zealand captain, was unable to bat owing to an injury received while fielding, and Miss Buck had to retire through being struck while batting well. The scores were: — NEW ZEALAND. First Innings 44 Second Innings. M. Marks run out 23 H. Buck st E. Snowball b J. E. Partridge 16 P. Savin c M. E. Richards b J. E. Partridge 15 H. Certsy run out 12 M.
