FIRST TEST MATCH DRAWN
Paynter's Century In Each Innings
VANDERBYL AND BRUCE MITCHELL IN STONEWALLING STAND
Johannesburg, To-day.
The first Test match between South Africa and England which commenced here last Saturday ended in a draw yesterday when, after England had declared their second innings closed at 191 for 4, South Africa went in for a second time and played out time, scoring being painfully slow and featured by stone-walling tactics by P. Vanderbyl and Bruce Mitchell.
Highlights of England's second innings were Ernest Paynter's century which brought him into line with A. C. Russell and Herbert Sutcliffe, all of whom have now scored a century in each innings against South Africa in a Test match.
