GAME DESCRIBED. Received 11.30 a.m. to-day. LONDON. July 15. The intensely hot and prolonged dry weather is affecting the wicket, whioh developed dusty patches, played truly. England batted quietly before lunch. Hammond certainly got six fours, but was unusually restrained. Woolley played a masterful innings, always confident, hitting a hard sixer and ten fours. Hendren failed to survive the initial over. England, after lunch, seemed to adopt more aggressive tactics, but the policy faded, South Africa 1 taking five: wickets for 58. Deane adopted a quick change of bowling, j The South African fielding was high class. The substitute wicket-keeper, Van der Merve, performed excellently and took an abnormal number of leg side balls. He allowed only two byes. Larwood strained his ankle and did not bowl to-day. The South Africans batted cautiously, especially after a bad 1 start. _ Fifty runs came up in eighty minutes. Mitchell and Merkel were especially sedate . Mitchell suddenly woke up and hit Tate to the boundary twice. White put himself on and got Mitchell in the second over. The attendance was 11,500.
