Rain delayed the game being resumed for a time, and whan a start was made the bowlers were almost unplayable. Darling skied his first ball to midon and retired. Hill was dismissed by a marvellous catch by Tunnicliffe at short slip. Trott and Kelly played stubbornly for 45 minutes, but the latter lost his wicket at 61, and 15 rues were added when the skipper followed, after being at the wickets for 80 minutes. Jones secured his runs by slogging, but none of the other batsmen were at home on the wicket. At the beginning of the second innings of the colonials the light was bad, and both Darling and Iredale, who opened, played steadily for half an hour. Later. The Australians have lost six wickets for 90 runs, the last three falling for 7. Darling 24 Giffen 81 Iredale 42 Gregory 0 Hill 2 Donnan ... 18
