BRILLIANT BATTING AT OLD TRAFFORD
THE CHINA MAIL, FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1950,
ENGLAND BUILDING UP A WINNING LEAD IN
THE FOURTH TEST MATCH
Manchester, July 26.
At the end of the first day's play in the Fourth Test match at Old Trafford, England were in a very strong position indeed, having scored 307 for the loss of three wickets when stumps were drawn.
The wicket has played perfectly all day, and has not given the slightest help to any of the bowlers. It was a good toss for the England captain, Peter May, to win and his batsmen have taken full advantage of this good fortune.

Replied Trevor, who had played in five matches without scoring: "I feel that I owe Cardiff some goals." And he really meant it!
