LONDON, July 1

25,000 were present after lunch. White was driven to the boundary, but Tate was not punished, owing to his good length. Bradman, slamming White to the boundary, reached 250. He had then made his score the highest of the tour, but his immense inning ended when he attempted a drive off the next ball, Chapman taking a good running catch. The young batsman received a tremendous ovation for his chanceless innings which occupied 335 minutes. He hit twenty-five 4’s and his partnerships with Woodfull and Kippax yielded 192 and 175 respectively. Three runs later White had another success, Kippax playing on after a solid exhibition, without a chance Most of his runs were scored behind the wicket by perfectly timed cuts and glances. He got only four boundaries.

Runs Gathered Quickly.

Richardson drove White to the fence raising 600 after 540 minutes and equalling Australia’s best test aggregate. The South Australian batsman treated the spectators to an exhibition of virile hitting. One tremendous six was the first of the match.

McCabe also hit freely. The pair shattered the last remaining Test record when the 636, scored by England in Sydney last year was passed. This pair added 55 in twenty-two minutes. Richardson was then caught at cover. Oldfield, who was next, started smartly. McCabe’s bright innings of forty minutes was ended by a simple catch at mid-on. His score included eight 4’s. The 700 came up in 600 minutes. Such a gigantic score , has never been recorded at Lord’s before.

At tea time Australia led by .304 and Woodfull closed the innings which had lasted 625 minutes.

A Tremendous Task. A tremendous task faced England when their second innings began at 450. The wicket though wearing well was not expected to remain in good order Moreover, the Australian bowlers had been well rested. Hobbs and Woolley played quietly. The latter, when five, dangerously cut a ball which passed the wicketkeeper. Grimmett replaced Fairfax and half an hour produced 32 runs. Beaten and Bowled. The slow bowler had a sensational success at 45, completely beating and bowling Hobbs. (Continued in next column A

Hammond uncertainly played two remaining balls of the over. Grimmett worried both batsmen but the fifty appeared in even time. Then Grimmett forced Woolley so far back that he dislodged the bails. Thus two valuable bats Avere lost in an hour.

England was in a sorry position when Duleepsinghi name in with forty minutes left for play. Hammond and he played watchfully, Hornibrook causing both batsmen some concern.

At stumps 98 runs had been scored in 100 minutes.

Hammond, In the last stage was showing better form but Duleepsinhji batted nicely all through.
