The light roller waa uaed lor only three minutes. Three thousand -ajre—« were present. Armstrong waa bowled in Lockwood's first over, having survived an appeal by Rhodes for leg before off his first ball 116 —9—21. Kelly waa last man, and got his leg before to one from. Loch -wood. Rhodes'* balls rose awkwardly from spots on the pitch. The w—ket looked very doubtful aa the Englishmen went in for their second inrringa. MaoLaren pjayed Saunders on off his second ball, ait-er jscqring a conple. 6— I—2. Tyldesley joined Palairet, but the farmer was dean bowled by Saunders with a fine break back, the previous ball having just shaved the batsman's off-stump. 5— 2—3. Hayward waa next, but Saunders bowled Palairet, one oi the bails hitting Kelly in the eye. 10—3—6. Kelly was not seriously hurt, and continued wicketkeeping. ' Jackson followed, but rain stopped play for a tone. Hayward, reaching forward, was neatly caught by Kelly. He was badly missed by Gregory at short-leg off Tramble when he had made 3. 31—4—7. Braund made a couple, when Kelly smartly caught him at the wicket. Jackson waa playing a fine game, and was never in difficulties. He hit a very fine 4 from each bowler. 413—5—2. Jackson, with Jessop, brought the score to 87 at lunch time. Jessop had a life when his score was at 27, being missed by Trumper at long-off off Saunders. The catch, however, was very low down. Jackson, just on lunch time, with 39 to his credit, was nearly stumped off Saunders. Jessop was batting very fast, and made two fine drives for 4 off Trnmble in successive balls, one pitching on the pavilion awning. On resuming, the weather became overcast. Jessop rapidly overhauled Jackson's total, and cut Ti—able nicely for four. Jackson was badly missed by Armstrong in the alips when he had made 48. Jessop, with his score at 70, cut Trumble for five, and hit four fonrers off Saunders in one over, compiling fifty in forty -five minutes. He made 75 out of the hundred made in an hour's batting. Armstrong, when the board showed 145, replaced Saunders, the first bowling change. Jackson sent one from Trumble back to the bowler, and retired, after batting a hundred minutes. His cricket waa not so good after lunch. 157— 6—49. Jessop continned to play forcefully with Hirst, and the demon slogger brought his century in view, scoring twelve in one over off Traable, including two drives into the paviHoh. Hirst hat' Armstrong to leg twice in t-uccesskm for four apiece, and then Jessop was caught by Noble at shortleg, off Ar—strong. He had batted for seventy-five minutes, and received a great ovation on —turning to the pavilion. The Australians cheered him heartily. Jessop hit one five and seventeen fours. Lockwood p_tnered Hirst, who was sooring rapidly. . Lockwood made a couple, and then got-- his leg before to Trumble. 214—8—2. LiHey came next. Hirst was Mttingt finely.
