until the tea adjournment. McCormick, who was still limping, reopened at a moderate pace. Two boundaries by Ames raised 300 in 265 minutes.

Hammond, though now nerf showing his earlier brilliance, looked as safe as ever. None of the bowlers troubled him. The bowlers and fieldsmen were becoming tired. McCabe bowled for long spells in the hope of keeping down the runs. In a gallant attempt to catch Hammond, who was 188, off his own bowling, Chipperfield injured his left hand ar >d retired.

The partnership was worth 100 runs in 90 minutes and Hammond, hitting splendidly, reached 200 after 315 minutes of play. Bradman made frequent bowling changes, but with McCormick worn out and Fleetwood-Smith unable to find a length, the runs came freely. The total of 300 occupied 350 minutes. At stumps Hammond had been batting for 335 minutes and had hit 20 fours. Ames batted for 120 minutes' lor his half century.

The attendance in the afternoon was 32,400. The takings amounted to £3991.

It was at first stated that Chipperfield had broken the top joint Of his linger and was unlikely to take further part in the match, but later it was announced that it was uncertain whether the finger had been broken. He is lo be.examined again to-morrow.
