Pl.iy opened in perfect weather and in a sensational manner. Siedle was out for a duck when the score was one. Larwood took his off stump through the batsman playing inside the ball. The score rose steadily by singles until at, 75 Mitchell was bowled after a valuable second-wicket stand. Morkcl and Catterall survived until luncheon, when the score was 94 for two wickets. The spectators watched steady play when the game was resumed until Catterall, whose innings had been most praiseworthy, was bowled. After that Duminy was bowled and Morkcl stumped in quick succession. Owen-Smith wis caught off Freeman, whose length and spin, however, ilid not prevent Vincent hitting two sixes off him in the same over. Hammond dropped Vincent when the batsman had made 15. He also missed Vandermerwe. However, he atoned subsequently by catching Vandermerwe low down, a left-handed catch, after the eighth wicket had added 49 runs. The innings closed for 236. It had lasted 255 minutes. The moderate score was largely due to Freeman's bowling. Vincent hit four sixes and six fours. England Makes a Good Start. Bowlcy and Sutcliffc opened England's first innings. They went confidently to the wickets after the tea adjournment. At the close of the day's play the home side had scored 106 for two wickets, leaving 130 to make to equal the visitors' total, with eight wickets in hand.
