Simpson had made 119 (nine 4's) in 317 minutes Evans (8) and Warr (nil) were together at tea, when the score was seven for 303. Evans, with a mixed display of wild hitting and a solid defence, carried Warr along in a partnership of 41 for the eighth wicket before being caught at extra cover off Noblet for 38. Warr followed him back without adding to the score, which was then 340. Wright and Berry managed to stay in by keeping straight bats and picking up singles and 2’s to reach 351 when Brown declared the innings closed with nine wickets down. Details: SOUTH AUSTRALIA
