FINE BOWLING BY ENGLAND
London. July 15
On the second day of the Third Test match at Leeds, South Africa had a hopeless collapse. With the exception of Rowan 62 and Siedle 33, the others failed to do their bit. Dalton was out with the total at 149 and after the addition of a single, Vincent, Rowan and Langton all. fell without any addition to the score, 150. Crisp made 18 for the last wicket to brig South Africa's " total to 171 runs, 45 behind England's total of 216.
Added to very good fielding by England, their bowlers rose to the occasion and puzzled the visiting batsmen. Verity took two wickets for five runs, Wyatt took one for a "single, while Nichols accounted for three batsmen, at a cost of 58,
With a lead of 45 runs in the first innings, England com menced their second innings and at tea time had made 38 runs without loss.
At the commencement of the second day's play in the Third Test match at Leeds, the sky was overcast and only two thousand spectators were present to witness the continuation of the South Africans first inninga but before the lunch interval the crowd had increased to ten thousand.
