FOUR WICKETS TO SPARE

About 15,000 were present to-day, when dull, cloudy weather prevailed. New South Wales was again unfortunate in having to bat on a wicket damaged by heavy rain overnight. Five good wickets fell before lunch while 83 runs were added, and the remaining four batsmen were dismissed after the adjournment for 11 inns. Bradman in the early stages of his innings was a little venturesome, but later played with delightful freedom, being severe on the slow bowlers Mitchell and Verity. Hammond bowled unchanged to-day on a wicket which gave him every assistance. Kippax, Bradman, Cummin® and Hill all lost their wickets af short fine leg, where Hammond, Verity l aild Mitchell had a cluster of fieldsmen not more than six yards from the batsmen. Bradman batted 123 minutes and hit seven fours. Kippax appeared to have lost all form. The crowd was in high glee when England’s' opening basmen were dismissed for 11 runs. Smart fielding by Cummins was responsible for Wyatt’s downfall. As the result of dashing cricket by Leyland and Hammond, including a sixer by the latter, 50 was passed in 45 minutes. Chilvers then came on and his second hall completely baffled Hammond. His fourth bumped awkardly and hit Love, the wicketkeeper, under the eye. Fingleton took over the wicketkeeping job and brilliantly stumped Ames. With the addition of one run after tea Verity and Leyland were out. Leyland played a bright innings, hit- • ting five fours. The total was then 70 for six wickets. Chilvers having taken three for 5.
