THIRD TEST DRAWN

WEST INDIES AND MARYLEBONE. SAFETY KEYNOTE OF BATTING. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright Georgetown, Feb. 18. The third test between the West Indies and the M.C.C. was drawn. The weather was fine and the wicket easy when play was resumed. Safety was still the keynote of the batting. Seventy-five minutes were occupied in scoring the first 30. Hammond was uncomfortable and 18 'minutes elapsed before he scored. Wyatt boringly batted, four hours, but with Hendren he consolidated England’s position. Constantine’s medium-pace deliveries were sufficient to keep the batsmen quiet. At one stage he had three wickets for nine. Wyatt declared at tea time, leaving 90 minutes in which Sealey stylishly put up the best innings of the day. Detailed scorfes are:— ENGLAND. First Innings 226 Second Innings.
