FIFTH DAY.
OVERNIGHT RAIN. WICKET MAY BE DIFFICULT. (Received 2.30 p.m.) BRISBANE, this day. The weather is cloudy and unsettled for the fifth day of the first cricket Tefit between England'and Australia. The wicket is slightly damp, after overnight rain, and may prove a bit difficult. Australia, requiring 378 to win, with nine wickets in hand, reopened to-day Badcock (0) and Sievers (2), Fingleton having been bowled yesterday by Voce with the first ball of the innings. When stumps were drawn five minutes early, owing to repeated appeals against the light, Australia had only three runs on the board, for the loss of a key man, who had made an even century in the first innings.
