CRICKET.
THE ELEVEN OF ALL ENGLAND v. TWENTY-TWO

_
OF L EAthElf6N.
On Saturday this match was resumed, and carried
on until the approach of darkness bade the drawing of
the wickets. At this period it would appear that the
second innings of the Twenty-two had not been con-
cluded, and therefore, as the Eleven were engaged to
appear at Chelmsford yesterday morning, we presume
the game WAS drawn. The score stood as follows:—
Leamington, first inning+, 107 ; second innings, 59.
England (with three wickets to go down), first in►
nings), 126.
