ENGLAND v. SOUTH AFRICA. FIFTH TEST MATCH. BY CABLE —PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT, LONDON, Aug. 16. The fifth test match between England and South Africa opened in. fine but cloudy weather. The wicket was good, and the attendance 16,000. The South Africans won the toss and hatted, playing the same side as in the last test, except that Hearne replaced Hand. England omitted Kilner. The start was disastrous, t\\o wickets falling for seven runs. Hearne was run out as the result of a magnificent return by Hobbs. Susskind and Nourse made a splendid recovery, Susskind taking no liberties, and he caused the crowd to barrack him. Catterall’s play was attractive, and the best innings of the test series. His 95 was scored in 120 minutes, whereas Susskind took 228 minutes. The English fielding was of the highest standard. Hobbs, Sandham, and Hendren were magnificent. The howling was changed continually, and was better than the score suggests, though Howell was patchy. Nevertheless a steady, continuous attack was set up. Strudwick was a masterpiece behind the sticks, allowing only one bye, which went for four, in the whole innings, which lasted 342 minutes. Details : SOUTH AFRICA. First Innings.
