CRICKET.

. [By Electric Tbliobaph — Copteioht.] Australians r. All England. (Per Pbess Association.) London, July 17. The second match between the All England Eleven and the Australians was opened at Lords to day, there being a large attendance and fine weather. The English team is as follows :— Peel, Flowers, Wainwright, Mold, Lockwood, Jackson, Stoddart (captain), McGregor, Gunn, Shrewsbury, and Maurice Bead. Attewell was picked as emergency man. Grace's absence from the eleven is due to an injury to one of his fingers. Jar'vis, Walter Giffen, and Conningham are standing out of the Australian team. . . • The Englishmen, winning the toss, elected to bat, and- have lost three wickets for 168 runs ; Jackson 91, and Shrewsbury (not out) 43. Gunn played tamely, and Shrewsbury batted for an hour for 10 runs, Turner's bowling being difficult to negotiate. Stoddard punished Bruce severely, and Jackson's leg hitting was superb. The fielding of the Australians was very loose, and the first hundred runs were scored in 85 minutes. Jackson was missed by Lyons when he- had compiled 62, by Blackham when ho had scored' 73, and then by Trumble when his score had reaihed 83. G. Giffen missed Shrewsbury when the latter's score stood at 40 Latest. For the match All England v.
