PERTH, 2Sth October. The second' match of th© English cricket team's tour, in whic-h it is meeting a combined inter-State team, was continued to-day. The weather is fine, but cloudy and threatening.

England, who had three wickets down for 3t>9 when stumps were drawn last evening, continued the innings. The batting was solid, but the play before lunch was featureless.

The Englishmen's play suggested that they were using the match for quiet batting practice. Play was generally stolid and largely dreary. The fielding of the local men was poor, but that of the inter-State representatives was brilliant. Bradman shone as a fieldsman and bowser, breaking up the chief partnership. Ames fell to a ball which brushed his pads and bails. He did not consider himself out, but bowed to the umpire's decision. He- took fifty-three minutes to score 23.

Hammond and Jardine in partnership gave an exhibition of solid batting. They were not hustled by the cries of the crowd for action and "were twice counted out. Hammond showed masterly footwork. He scored slowly, undev a run a minute, but brightened up later. He was clean bowled by the captain of the Combined team. He made 77 in ninety-two minutes, including one sixer and six 4's.

Allen, although never appearing comfortable, infused some life into the game and scored two 4's in succession.

With JSOO runs up for 458 minutes' play, Bradman was given the ball, and in his second over got Allen, who made 17 in forty-two minutes.

Paynter, who was making his Australian debut, was unfortunate, a shower causing a short delay.

Jardine, who had been "solidly increasing his score, in the last * over before tea placed an easy catch to McCabe from Bradman. His 98 included eleven 4's, and was made in one hundred and sixty-eight minutes.- It was an unattractive innings generally. Paynter was giving the spectators a lively display with Verity, who shapes attractively, when Jardine declared at 583, compiled in 520 minutes. The wicket held well.

The Combined team opened with Fingleton f and' Bichardson to the fast bowler Allen. His seventh ball brought a thrill. It apparently hit Eichardson on the pad. An appeal was unsuccessful. Contrasting with England's'play, 19 was posted in. the first four minutes, 40 in sixteen, .and 50 in twenty-five.

The light was troublesome, and play was stopped with no wickets down for 59.

Eain started afterwards, promising a wet night.

The attendance was 12,040 and the gate receipts £886.
