LONDON, May 16. The Lancashire match ended tamely in a draw. Play to-day was confined to four and a-half hours. The last five Lancashire batsmen were dismissed for the addition of o-i runs and Australia had to make 2~7 in 160 minutes to win. Eckersley again was _ confident. Paynter hit one back to Fairfax in the second over, the bowler falling and 1 taking a good catch. Grimmett again puzzled Eckersley, but the home captain resolutely kept his foot behind the CTG&SG The brightest incident of the day was R. Tyldesley’s 25 in as many minutes. He drove Grimmett to the boundary off four successive balls. Hornibrook bowled finely throughout and finished with very good figures. Australia made a sporting bid for victory, but Sibbles and McDonald commanded respect and the visitors’ chance of winning gradually faded. Richardson, after hitting Hopwood for six, put his leg in front of a' straight ball. The match then degenerated into a batting practice. Jackson was cautious and uninspiring, hut Bradman was aggressive. The former went out the same way as in the first innings. Bradman and Kippax played out time. The match was drawn.
