ALL OUT FOR 701

AUSTRALIA’S SCORE FIFTH CRICKET TEST Ponsford Beats Bradman ENGLAND NONE FOR 90 (By Telegraph- Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Received 21, 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, Aug. 20. The second day’s play in the fifth cricket Test between Australia and England saw the Australians all out for the grand total of 701, and England lias lost no wickots for 90 runs. T.iglit rain fell uu hour before tho start of play, but; it was insufficient to affect the ground. I’lny was resumed in bright, Heather, Allen using a new ball. McCabe glanced the bull for a two and a four. Clark resumed at the opposite end to Saturday with the breeze swinging the ball towards the leg trap, consisting of four men witli iinotlier at the square-leg boundary. McCalr' cocked the bull towards Allen in the most pronounced “suicide” position and then nicely glanced for three, hi Allen’s second over, however, a splendid, fust hall uprooted his middle stump. McCabe readied KXK) runs in Tests. Clark's leg-thoory was far more intensive than on Saturday, even Ames standing across, consequently Woodfull had an uncomfortable start. The bowling was faster and more aggressive than on Saturday and tho wicket livelier. I’onsford went on nicely and confidently with an occasional bonnd-ry and the score mounted ’till it reached 500 in 365 minutes. Clark’s leg trap came still closer for Woodfull, who defended solidly. Allen

bowled with great spirit but Ponsford was now butting brilliantly and hit three fours in one over, bringing up 50 runs in even 'lime. Bowes kept down the runs. Hammond, Verity and Woolley xvore all tried without success. Woodfull was dropped by Woolley and Verity ped a dillicult chtineo from Ponsford. Both batsmen then increased the rate of scoring. I’onsford was applauded on equalling Bradman’s score. He reached 250 in 430 minutes. Clark then bowled io the offside lield. In the Inst over before lunch from Allen, I’onsford, in trying to avojd a fast, rising ball, which he did not attempt tn piny, stepped back and hit the wicket. He batted .155 minutes and gave five chances, but if, was a

great display. He faced the fast bowling pluckily, despite frequent knocks. Twenty-live thousand were present after lunch. Clark reverted to the packed leg trap. Allen was bowling with fiery energy and Woodlull had lo ilelend carefully.

when he swung Bowes to the fence, raising 600 in 430 minutes. Grimmett, who was extremely scratchy, flicked a rising ball to the wicketkeeper. Ebeling was bowled in swinging at a “yorker” from Allen, who was troublesome in the strong wind, which often blew the bails off. Oldfield, meanwhile, was batting splendidly, and 700 took GOO minutes. Then Clark completely beat O’Reilly. Oldfield batted 90 minutes. Ho played an excellent innings and carried his bat. ENGLAND OPENS. Ninety-live minutes remained when Walters and Sutcliffe opened. Seven came from Ebeling’s first over, and the first seven overs produced 33 runs, of which Walters hit '3O. Grimmett displaced McCabe at 33, and O'Reilly appeared at 37. The slow howlers subdued the scoring, nevertheless 50 came up in 40 minutes. Walters cocked a ball towards • micl-on, but Ebeling started too late for a catch. Then turning O’Reilly for three Walters reached 50 in GO minutes out of a total of G 7. This was excellent going for a side facing such a huge total. With Grimmett and O'Reilly keeping an excellent length the scoring did not approach the early burst. Walters, however, far outpaced Sutcliffe, who was content with an occasional single. Sutcliffe’s defence was stronger than Walters’, who often seemed unsure lacing Grimmett. Ebeling returned at 70, but did not look dangerous. Sutcliffe was now' showing more enterprise, while Walters became purely defensive. The pair were unconquercd at stumps. The attendance was 28,000. Details: — AUSTRALIA. First tunings.
