When play was resumed Taylor and Mitchell were the mainstays of their side. Taylor played dashing cricket, hitting eight fours and one six. There was a debacle after Taylor's departure. O'Reilly and Grimmett predominated in the attack. Mitchell indulged in a solid stonewall. He only scored two in 93 minutes. His total of Do included five fours. The side's total score was 274.
