The Midlanders, who were in a minority of 102, resumed their second innings, having threo wickets down for 61. B. Blacklock (28) and Vi. Tucker (1) were the not-out men. They played capitally, and were able to wipe off tho deficit and get 32 to tho good without losing their wickets, the score standing at 134 for three wickets when stumps wore drawn. B. Blacklock's score is 60, and Tucker's 30.
