THE THIRD TEST

AUSTRALIA'S INNINGS

OVER HUNDRED BEHIND

LARWOOD'S TERRIFIC PACE

OLDFIELD CARRIED OFF

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. ADELAIDE, 16th January. The wicket was in good order, and the weather was ideal to-day for the continuation of the third Test match, England v. Australia. Fifteen thousand spectators were present at the start. Australia completed the first innings for 222, and England had lost one wicket for 85 in the second innings when slumps were drawn. An immense responsibility rested on the shoulders of the not-out men, Ponsford and Richardson. Larwood was j bowling at a terrific pace, Ponsford receiving several hard body blows. Eichardson was unsettled, and after adding 7, weakly played Allen on when his score was 28. Four wickets for 131. Ponsford was showing an attractive repertoire of strokes, late-cutting and square-cutting with perfect artistry. He hit two successive fours off Larwood and three off Allen and was soon in the sixties. Jardine repeatedly changed the field. CROWD RESENTFUL. The crowd became resentful toward Larwood. Oldfield played at the top of his form. Verity came on at 150. Oldfield 1 drove delightfully to the off. He ; played Verity and Voce grandly. A ' late cut off Verity for 4 brought him ' up to 26. ' "When 76 Ponsford placed Voce dan- ' gerously close to Verity in the slips. • At lunch the score was. 185 for five ' wickets. '' On the resumption of play Ponsford added 5 and then Voce completely beat > him, taking his leg stump. Ponsford played a wonderful innings for 216 minutes. He hit eight fours. 1 Grimniett began "with a smart 2 through the slips off Hammond. With the score at 200 Oldfield hit Voee brilliantly to fine leg. Voce missed Grimmett ' in the slips off Larwood when he was 5. Oldfield made a dashing cover shot in ■ retaliation for a hard leg knock-from 1 Larwood. Oldfield lost Grimmett when, the latter was 10. The slow bowler tipped a fast one from Allen for 4. Paynter, attempting, interception, badly twisted his ankle and retired. The next ball Grimmett cocked to Voce, who made a brilliant catch. "When Oldfield was 41 a fast one from Larwood came off his bat, and struck the batsman on the temple. ' Oldfield writhed on the ground. A doctor was quickly in attendance. There 1 was an unprecedented scene, the crowd vehemently hooting and counting out Larwood at every delivery. Oldfield was removed to the dressing--1 room, O'Eeilly replacing him. The last men fell cheaply and the innings closed after 322 minutes' bat- " ting. ENGLAND'S SECOND STRIKE. When England began the second innings, Eichardson took up the gloves, 0 'Brieii fielding. The .second ball from O'Reilly Suteliffe sent to fine leg for 4. He turned one- in a similar direc- , tion high from-Wall and O'Brien ran \ round and effected a brilliant catch. \ One wicket for 7. [ For' the first quarter of an hour Jardine was subdued, and O 'Beilly had ; Wyatt uncomfortable, the runs being . mostly singles. At 35 Wyatt gave a chance to Rich- ; ardson, for which he ran 3. For a time I there was little scoring, 50 occupying ; 56 minutes. t When 14 Jardine skied Grimmett to mid-on, ' for which Fingleton made a desperate run, bnt just missed by six .inches. Jardine then adopted a policy of safety first, and Wyatt waited for loose ones. Jardine took 91 /minutes to score 17. O'Eeilly and Wall came back at 64. Then JMcCabe had a turn but failed to break the stubborn defence, and., the score crept to 82. BradmaiL had a turn with the ball, Jardine turning his first delivery to • leg for 2. . .
