The weather was fine and the wicket fast, and the attendance was 12,000. Armstrong won the toss. Bardsley and Collins opened to Wbolley and Cornwalhs. Collins was easily caught m the slips. One for 2. Macartney followed. The fielding was of the keenest and the batsmen were kept strictly on the defensive. Runs came slowly, only sixteen resulting from twenty-five minutes' play. Bardsley survived appeals for leg before and a catch. At 25 Freeman, a diminutive googlie bowler, replaced CornwaUis, and Bryan relieved Woolleyi The half century occupied an hour, and immedi. ateiy^after Bardsley chopped - Bryan ■*&*? olley's hands at slip. Two for 52. ■ . ■ •
