gy Cable —Press Association.—Copyright LONDON, Friday. a day when, through the wicke't being sodden, there was no play, Notts resumed its innings this mornwas brilliant sunshine, and this, drying the pitch, favoured the bowlers. The first wicket fell at 92. Walker and Whysall made a fine stand, scoring 106 in 100 minutes. Both went out in the same over. Whysall batted for three hours. He was missed three times in the 60's. Lowry caught Carr brilliantly at long off, running 20 yards. When the New Zealanders’ total was passed after four and a-half hours’ batting, a heavy thunderstorm caused abandonment of the game. The attendance was small. Details: NEW ZEALAND First Innings R. C. Blunt, c Lilley, b Hearne . . 28 C. S. Dempster, b Staples 2 f. E. Mills, st Lilley, b Staples . . 5 c. Lowry, b Richmond 74 ii. L.
