The match lasted a day and a half and during that time 37 wickets fell for • total of 323 runs. Today D. A’Court, a' newcomer to the county side, was responsible for the tourists’ crash. He took six wickets for 25 with his well-controlled and fiery fast bowling. The Springboks’ second innings score of 49 was their lowest against a county atnee 1912. When play resumed this morning the visitors were one for 8. but they lost their last nine wickets for 41 runs. The county in turn was soon in trouble against the fast bowling of N. A. T.
