INDIA V. ENGLAND VISITORS FOLLOW ON. Press Association Elecuic Telfieranh—CoDvrtgbi (Received Tuesday, 9.45 a.m.) LONDON, Monday. England declared at the overnight score of 8 for 471. Brilliant weather was experienced when Marchant and Muslitaq Ali opened India’s innings. Both batsmen batted steadily against patchy bowling, until Verity eventually tempted Musktaq Ali out, and Duckworth brilliantly stumped him. Russain, after a painstaking innings, met a similar fate. Merchant, who was very slow, was bonded neck and crop. After this the wickets fell in quick succession. Following on, Marchant and Muslitaq Ali again gave India a good start. They were in aggressive form from the outset, sending up fifty in 35 minutes. Both went out to smart catches. Amar Singh hit up 44 in -less than half an hour before he skied a ball, while Hussain was scoring at a fast rate at the drawing of stumps. The scores are as follow: ENGLAND.
