TENTH CENTURY FIRST WICKET PARTNERSHIP.
(THROUGH REUTER'S AGENCY.]
NOTTINGHAM, June 18. Shortly after play was resumed in the first Test match between England and Australia which is in progress at Nottingham. the Australians were dismissed in their first innings for the poor total
of 144 rugs..
The Australian not outs, Kippax and Hornibrook, continued their innings, but they had not been together very long when the latter put his leg in front of a straight one from Larwood, and was given out si the 1.b.w. route,
Wall filled the vacancy, but before he had opened his account, he was bowled by Tyldesley, the Australian innings thas closing
for 144 runs.
Kippax only added four runs to his score at the close of play on Saturday.
After the sunshine on Sunday, the wicket was good and the weather glorious when England went in for the second time, and there were 25,000 people present to see them being given an ex- cellent start by Hobbs and Sutcliffe, who engaged in the tenth century Brat-wicket partnership in England-Australia Tests.
Both batsmen played very well, and their running between the sticks was particularly clever.
After ninety minutes' play, Hobbs, in attempting to jump out for a big hit off Grimmett, was easily stumped by Oldfield. The score now stood at 125 runs. for one wicket, and Hobbs' personal contribution was, seventy-four, thus bringing his aggregate in this match to 152 runs. It was a masterly innings, the Surrey "crack", placing, driving and cutting to perfection, and he put the ball be- yond the ropes on no less than ten occasions.
After Hobbs was out, Hammond joined the Yorkshireman." who, by this time, had settled down to really clever cricket, and by the luncheon interval he had totalled 55 runs not out.
The Gloucester "star" had not yet opened his account, being content to play what few Halls he received carciully
When 199 runs were hoisted for the loss of only one wicket, play was stopped for lunch, the scores then being:-
