Sinclair attempted a big hit but the ball struck the corner of the bat and skied. In the following over Whitty bowled Llewellyn. Whitty had struck a perfect length and was almost unplayable. Hordem was not so good. Four hundred runs were scored in doo minutes. After ono more Pearse was out leg before to Hordarn.

It continued to the boundary and tlie batsmen ran one. , Australia, wanting 198 to win, sent McArtney and Bardsley to the wickets Tho difference in the batting was very apparent.
