LEYLAND OUT
Only 16 runs were added before Leyland, reaching forward to a ball from Fleetwood Smith, was well caught in the slips by Chipperfield. 1903 45.
This disaster for England oc curred in Fleetwood Smith's fourth over and the ball turned slightly to beat Leyland, who batted for 98 minutes and hit three boundaries. In partnership with Barnett he added 32 runs for the third wicket. Five runs later Wyatt was caught by Fingleton at silly leg off O'Reil ly. 1954-3. He played forward and gave a “dolly" catch.
BARNETT'S CENTURY. Barnett, who was in an ultra cautious mood, reached his century after 266 minutes, having hit a six and eight boundaries. This is his first Test century against Austra lia.
SLOW SCORING
The fall of two wickets for 19 runs provided a bewildering change in the complexion of the game and the inspired fielders crowded in on Barnett and Ames, who were play- ing strictly defensive cricket and this slowed up the rate of scoring considerably. The 200 was hoist ed only after 286 minutes.
