Armstrong, the not-out man of the previous evening, was bowled in Lockwood’s first over, having survived an appeal by Rhodes for leg-before off his first ball. Nine for 115. Kelly, the last man, got leg-before to one from Lockwood. The balls from Rhodes rose awkwardly from spots on the pitch. Scores:— AUSTRALIA.—Second Innings.

Five for 48.

Jackson, with Jessop, brought the score to 87 by luncheon time. Jessop had a life when he had reached 27, being missed by Trumper at long-off from Saunders’s bowling.

Armstrong, at 145, replaced (Saunders, this being the first bowling change. Jackson sent one. from Trumble back to the bowler, and retired after batting for a hundred minutes. His cricket was not so good after lunch. Six for 157. .. .

Jcssop continued forcefully, with Hirst. The “demon” brought his century in view by scoring twelve in one over off Trumble, including two drives into the pavilion. Hirst hit Armstrong to leg twice in succession for four, -and then Jessop was caught by Noble at short-leg off Armstrong. . The great hitter had batted for seventy-five minutes. He received a great -ovation on retiring, the Australians cheering him heartily. Seven for 187. Jessop hit one five and seventeen fours. Lockwood partnered Hirst, who was scoring rapidly. The new-oomer made a couple, and then got leg-before .to Trumble. Eight for 214. Lilley came next. Hirst was hitting finely, but Lilley, at 11, gave a wide chance, being caught by Trumble - off his own howling. Noble replaced Saunders at 244. The excitement was now intense. Lilley was smartly caught at raid-off by Darling. Nine for 248. Rhodes, the last- man, opened with a four through the slips amidst cheers.
