M’CABE TAKES MORE WICKETS.

TEST PLAY RESUMED FOR SHORT PERIOD.

(United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received July 29, 9.20 am.) LONDON, July 28. Rain delayed the resumption of the third test. In a brief period of play the Englishmen increased their score from 221 for five to 261 for eight, M’Cabe taking three more wickets.

Several inspections of the wicket were made after lunch, and the decision was reached that there would be no play before four o’clock. The good-humoured crowd then became noisy, vigorously demanding that play be started. They hooted the appearance of a notice on the board stating that the wicket was at present unfit. . . , .. The captains again inspected the wicket at four o'clock and returned after* a few minutes’ consultation. The umpires came out and again took a look at five o’clock. They ordered that the wicket be brushed and then mowed. It was announced that play would commence at 5.30. Ley land and Tate resumed the in-

>ok up the attack and was immediately successful, the fifth ball breaking fr o m leg and taking Levland's bails The wicket was apparently treaM'Cabe made the ball rise sharply, and Wall also kicked nastily, striking Tate and Nichols. M’Cabe had another success at 237. Tate failed to properl} 7 connect, and Ponsford made a fine catch at ; mid-on. Peebles nibbled at Wall, and when five was dropped in

second, slip from M’Cabe by Richardson. In the same bowler’s next over, however, Peebles gave Richardson another chance which he this time snapped up, the total being eight for 247. The light was now poor, but the batsm'eri refrained from an appeal until 6.15. Then a justifiable request was allowed. Stumps were drawn with England in a deplorable position. , M’Cabe's figures are now 7 four lor 41. M’Cabe to-day took three for fourteen off seven overs, of which one was a maiden. Scores: AUSTRALIA.
