London, July 27.
The final day of the second Test match between England and New Zealand at Manchester io-day was packed with drama before England ran out winners by 130 runs. The sensations began when England's best wickets began tumbling like ninepins before the New Zealand attack. The innings was verging on the catastrophic when the seventh wicket fell for 75.
Then staunch Ames and Brown, ihe Test addition from Surrey, gallantly stopped the rot and doubled the score before the English "keeper lost his wicket. Brown's plucky stand gave him the honour of top scoring with -57 and helped the score to 167 which gave the New Zealanders 254 to catch. It was not beyond the reach of the visitors to beat that score or to force a draw but their innings found Goddard in his most devastating mood and his bag of 6 for 29 was responsible for their dismiss! for a humble 134.
