There was only twenty minutes' play at thb resumption of the AustralianM.C.C. match at Lord's when rain drove off the players. Tho wicket seemed satisfactory. • ( .' Meanwhile, Jackson had batted splendidly, and Hornibrook shaped well, the pair putting on 23 by bright cricket. Tho opening bowle"rs were Allom and Stevens. ■ Play was resumed at one o 'clock. A slippery ball hampered the bowlers, and the attack was entrusted to the slow bowlers", Stevens and Peebles. Jackson continued to bat attractively, though he was dropped at the boundary when 3S. Conditions after lunch still favoured the batsmen. , Jackson reached his first fifty of the toiir, hitting Peebles for six. Shortly afterwards he cut a ball hard to Hendron at short slip. Kippax and Ponsford batted confidently before they gave easy catches. Richardson was shaky from the start. Grimmett's wicket was shattered after a vigorous innings. Then Allen also bowled Wall, but interest had vanished from the match, which, like tho previous fixture, was interesting for two days, and then ended tamely. Fairfax, nevertheless, batted as though his side were in a desperate position. Australia made. 213.
