Every opportunity was seized, and with Verity bowling supcrably the Australians were routed, losing by an innings and 38 runs. With 192 for two wickets to their credit, the Australians need 99 more runs to avert a follow-on. In spite of a. good fight by Chipperfield, Oldfield and O’Reilly, they failed by seven. In the second innings Woodfull made a gallant effort to save the day, but the side collapsed for 118. Verity, on a wicket that suited him, was nearly unplayable. He took seven for (51 in the first innings and eight for 43 in the second. When he appeared on the balcony after the match, the crowd was wildly enthusiastic. This was England’s first victory in a test match at Lord* s since 1896. Scores:— ENGLAND First Innings. H. Sutcliffe, lbw, b Chipperfield . . 20 C. F. Walters, c Bromley, b O’Reilly 82 W. R.
