Oliver hit seventeen fours and two sixes, and Allcott nine fours sad two sixes. Wagga's second strike opened as disastrously as the first, the aeon being only fifteen when the first wieket fell. The New Zealandors fielded brilliantly in the blazing sun. Allcott was bowling magnificently. Of his first three overs two were maidens. Two runs were scored, and he got one wieket. Wagga fought gamely, but the visitors were too good. Owing to the shower overnight the wicket was slower than, the previous day.
