(IAROVON REUTER'S ADENCY.]
LONDON, June 25..
The Australians are putting up a great fight in the second. Test; at the close of play on the second day they had compiled the huge total of 404 runs for the loss of only two tickets..
England's 5rst innings realised 425 runs during the course of which K. S. Duleepsinghi, the brilliant Sussex batsman, scored 17 runs the highest individual score in Anglo-Australian Tests at Lord's. A crowd of 30,000 saw Dulcep achieve the highest -distinction of a cricketer's career, and although he offered chances at-65 and 98, he gare a delightful exhibition during his four hours and three-quarters at the wickets, cutting and leg-gliding superbly.
In his innings of 173, Dulcep" sent the ball to the ropes on twenty one occasions. His county-mate, Maurice Tate, also batted excellently, and was not defeated until he had exceeded the half- century mark, by four. Tate gave a delightful exhibition of free- hitting, and his partnership with Duleepsinghi produced 09 runs in 70 minutes. "Maurice" hit eight boundaries.
"|
The remaining English batsmen did not do well with the possible exception of "Farmer White, who made 23 out of the 38 put on for the last innings. After losing Hobbs carly, England's innings closed for 423 runs.

Australia Bagin Well,
There was a crowd of some 20,000, present when the two "Bills."Woodfull and Ponsford-walked out to the wickets to open Australia's innings. Mindful of what happened in the pre- vious match, the Australian captain started cautiously but soon got his "
eye in." He then proceeded to give a demonstration cn the fine art of batsmanship. Ponsford, on the other hand, did not eeem to worry himself unduly, and in spite of the fact that there" were four men fielding is. the slips, cut Allen through them to the boundary, only to follow up with a lusty drive Icr a four to send the 50 up after play had been in progress for 70 minutes. The English fielding was very keen, and Ponsford had to fight" doggedly for his runs, but with, a neat glide, he reached his 50 after 105 minutes with the crowd applauding loudly.
Woodfull was playing atolidly, and when play adjourned for the lunch interval, he was 34 against Ponsford's 59, both batsmen being still undefeated. The score was now 98 for no wickets.
After luncheon these two giants.continued their innings, after which play was adjourned for a while in order that the teams might be presented to His Majesty the King. Immediately after play was resumed, Ponsford was caught by Haminond in, the slips He had collected 81 runs, and gave a off White's first over. brilliant all-round batting display, staying at the wickets for three hours and hitting eight boundaries. Bradmah joined Woodfull, who was still sporing very slowly, and at the tea interval the Australian skipper had 105 to Bradman's 54. The score was how 244 for 1 wicket down..
Bradman's Quick Scoring.
Bradman reached his half-century in forty-five minutes, during which time only 60 runs were scored, thus giving an idea how long Woodfull took to get his runs. Bradman was driving and pulling delightfully, while "Bill" Woodfill went after sharp singles. The latter brightened up some little time after.
H
Together, these two giants brought the score to 392, when the Australian captain was smartly stumped by Duckworth off Robins. He made 155 runs in a stodgy innings, and was unlucky to get out the way he did, being beaten by playing forward to a deceptive' ball which went under his bat. He was at the wickets for five hours and a half, and during all this time only scored nine fours.
It was a wonderful day for Australian cricket, for after Wood- full and Ponsford had tamed the "Lions' "attack, Bradman lash- ed out at everything that was sent down, and hoodwinked the fielders with powerful drives and beautiful late cutting. He is 155 not out, scored in 185 minutes, and reached the boundary seven teen times.
After Woodfull wäz out; Kippax joined Bradman, who was still going strong, but stumps were drawn after a few runs had been added, Bradman's score standing at 155, while Kippax had gathered, both men being undefeated.
