Bain stopped play for half an hour, and upon resumption the wicket was treacherous. Wickets fell in .quick succession. Grimmett baffled the batsmen, but the last wicket added 11, thereby saving a follow- on. The attendance was 28,000 easily the highest in any county game of the tour. ■ v" Following are tie details:— AUSTRALIA. First Innings. Ponsford, b E.
