ERIC ROWAN 160 NOT OUT
Leeds, July 26.
South Africa were expected to build up a big ́total" on the second day of the Fourth Test match here and with unsettled weather forecast, their luck in winning the toss may prove a decisive factor. At the end of the first day, when South Africa were 282 rung for thrée wickets, the pitch was still playing easily and was giving very little help to either the pacemen or the spinners.
Eric Rowan, who had defied the England attack all day in a fine, chanceless Innings of 100 runs, and Jack Cheetham were the not-out batsmen.
The aggressive Ray McLean and the all-rounder, Percy Man-, Edil and Athol Howan were sill to come.
