ENGLAND ALL OUT FOR 216.

»■- FEEBLE DISPLAY OF BATTING. AFRICA ONE FOR 26. {By 'Telegraph-Press Assn.-Copyright) Received Sunday, 7.40 p.m. LONDON, July 13. The weather was ideal for the start of the second Test between England and South Africa. Rain had not fallen for weeks. The Africans omitted Williams, Tomlinson and Balaskas from the team, with Nourse as twelfth man. Twenty thousand were present when Crisp opened the bowling. His second ball caught Wyatt, who was neatly taken by the wicketkeeper. Barber played with easy confidence, but was easily caught when playing forward with a defensive stroke. Cameron later retired after receiving a painful blow on the temple when taking a rising ball from Vincent, Hammond was uncertain early in the innings but gained confidence. Smith, who was scoring at about the same rate, attempted to hook a short ball and Cameron took a careless forehand catch. Hammond scored 50 in 93 minutes, Mitchell stonewalled and did not score for 20 minutes. Hammond hit brilliantly, including five fours, unti» Vincent, bowling skilfully over the wicket, got him Ibvv. Hammond was in for 110 minutes. The fou?!h wicket put on 69 in 80 minutes. Hardstaff, who was making his debut, w T as strictly defensive, although the wicket favoured the batsmen. Vincent, who was maintaining an excellent length, accepted a low return and dismissed Hardstaff. His next delivery bowled Ames off his pads. Nichols fell a victim to Langton’s first over. Mitchell and Sims continued a stout resistance, but England sadly lacked attacking batsmen. The rate of scoring rvas extremely slow after tea. Scores; — ENGLAND. First Innings.
