The wicket, to the general eye, was right at noon, but the umpires' opinions were adverse. Play was commenced at 1.20, but was only continued fifteen minutes. Amidst jeers, Lilley scored 0 to Trumble, and then Tyldesley, who was not out 97, scooped the first ball from Howell into Trumble's hands, a schoolboy catch in the slips being easily held. Relf: scored 3. Fielder was quickly bowled by Howell. Lilley then skied one behind the wicket, giving Howell an easy catch. The Australians' innings opened smartly. A single was run when Trumper spooned one, but Fielder was absent. In the same over Trumper mishit Rhodes, but Lilley slipped and just missed the catch. Duff, Hill,' Noble, and Gregory fell easy victims. Hopkina assisted to put life into the game, as his 18 included one four, and threat threes consecutively, then Strudwick, fielding as substitute for Foster, caught him close in at leg off Relf. Trumble was received ; with ~ cheers, but after a narrow escape of being run out spooned one to Strudwick. The other members of the team did nothing. Trumper, after being missed by Lilley, was also, with the score at 87, missed at deep, long on by Hayward, who received a catch right into his hands. He was also missed with the score at 107 by Warner at deep point, and shortly* afterwards by Hayward. There was great cheering when a follow on was saved by Trumper scoring two. He> later consulted with Kelly, and evidently advised him to hit everything, but Kelly was easily run out. Trumper was eventually«caught at deep ong-on by Tyldesley, off Rhodes. Trumper played a forcing innings, which, however, was marred by four chances. Rhodes' average was magnificent, he. being absolutely unplayable, and each "of Trumper's lives was off him. With an' advantage of '193 -on the first innings the 7 Englishmen began their second innings. Wkrner, in Saunders' first over, mishit, and was caught by Noble at point right on the grass. In the next over Trumper, in the deep field, caught Hayward. Tyldesley batted magnificently, as in 48 runa only two singles were scored. Tyldesley hit two fives, and six fours, making off Saunders one five and two fours in one over; he gave no chances. Rhodes in the last over fell a victim leg-before to Trumble as in the first innings.
