SECOND TEST MATCH,

INNINGS’ VICTORY FOR ENGLISHMEN.

FINS BOWLING PERFORMANCE

BY BURNUP.

Per Press Association,

Wellington, last night. At 11.30, when the game was resumed, the weather was line, though cloudy, and a fierce nor’-wester was blowing, which rendered matters unpleasant for the fieldsmen. Hay went in with Mahoney, the not-out man of the previous day, the former opening toßosanquet. Thompson was bowling from the south end, and against the wind. Whatman having injured his finger, Stanning took the wickets. Hay scored a single off the first over of each bowler, and Mahoney reached double figures by a sweet drive off Bosanquet. Hay caused 30 to appear by hitting Bosanquet to the fence. The nest noticeably incident was a pretty square cut byMahoney, who sent Bosanquet to the boundary. Two runs later Hay was palpably out leg-before wicket to Thomson. 41—3 —11. Tucker followed, and fortune smiled on him, he playing his first ball on to the wickets, but without removing the bails. At this stage Hargreave relieved Bosanquet. Disaster now overtook the New Zealanders, Tucker giving Hargreave a lowdown chance in the slips off Thompson, which was gratefully accepted. 49—4—0. Lusk, who filled the gap, hit off a couple of twos, which he supplemented by a boundary hit, all off one over of Thompson’s, bringing 60 up. A diversion then took place in the no-balling of Thompson for the third time during tho morning. Hargreave was proving troublesome to tho batsmen, five of his overs producing only two runs. When 70 came in view Mahoney had a narrow shave of being run out. liuruup was put on at Thompson's end, aud the change was effective, as off the new bowler’s second ball Mahoney was caught at the wickets by Stanning. 74 —5 bis first ball from Burnup into Stanning’s hands at short stop. 74—6—0. Callaway partnered Lusk and put Burnup nicely to the fence. Thompson then went on in place of Hargreave at the town end, just in time to see a trimmer from Burnup dislodge Callaway’s timbers. 80 —7—6. Fisher put a his first ball from Burnup into Hargreave’s hands in the slips. 80 —B—o. Burnup was particularly destructive, his figures at this time reading four wickets for six runs. Another catch to Hargreave, this time off Thompson, sent Lusk back. 80 —9 —16. McCarthy joined Upham, and each batsman had scored a couple, when Burnup beat Upham, and the innings closed for 84, leaving the Englishmen victors by. an innings and 22 runs.
