With the score at 02 Knight .reached forward ' to a ball from Cronib and was given out leg before. 01—1—32. Talbot opened confidently with a single off Croinb, and he went to double figures a few overs later. Cavanagh, who had been batting soundly, reached 40 when he drove Riley to the boundary The hundred came up in 85 minutes, Talbot gliding Hope to the fine leg boundary. Cavanagh passed 50 and hooked Lester for a glorious .six to the embankment. He scored six more runs, and then pulled Riley to aiid-on, where Lester took a good catch. 130—2—02. Lester knocked Talbot's leg pin before there was an addition to the score. 130—3—27. ' Badcoek succeeded Talbot, and had scored three when he was stumped by Burns off Riley.
