It closed for 322 runs, or 20 more than England’s first strike. ■Christie (15) and Mitchell (42), appeared set for a long partnership when Duckworth smartly stumped the latter. Christie terminated an excellent innings by trying an Impossible run. Tate, bowling fast, secured Deane’s wicket. White's perfect length kept the batsmen quiet, 150 appearing after three hours. A brilliant catch dismissed Cameron. Hurt Whllo Fielding. Hammond and O'Connor were hurt while fielding. White was unable to obtain a substitute until Deane called on Catterall to play for England, the groundsman replacing him later.

McMillan lifted the English skipper to the ladies’ enclosure, the ball striking a spectator on the temple. With the ninth wicket clown OwenSmilh opened out briskly, and carried the total to 322.
