Victoria in the second innings against Couth Australia has lost five wickets for 541 (Woodful 1 34, Ponsford 84, Hendry So. Love not out 170. King 33, Hartkopf not out 101).

Hendry resumed his overnight innings with Love. Both batted carefully, Love’s runs coming very slowly. The pair carried the total towards the 800 mark when Hendry was stumped oft Williams after he had just previously escaped a catch off the same bowler. King assisted Love to bring up his hundred, which had taken 200 minutes, And 300 was hoisted for 279 minutes’ play. With the advent of Ilartkopf the batting became more aggressiVe, runs mounting up more freely towards the close, though play was never inspiring. Changes were frequently rung on the bowlers, whom the batsmen all through treated with respect. Extras added 29. In Victoria’s first innings the score was 304, South Australia replying with 148.
