London, July 27. Although Bobble Wyatt. the England captain won the toss in the Fourth Test Match with the South Africans which opened at Old Trafford, Manchester, to-day, the supporters of " the English team had an anxious time until Maurice Leyland. and R. W. V. Robins got together in a partnership which pro- duced 105 runs and made things much brighter for their side. Leyland scored 53 while Robins went on to pass the century be fore he was bowled by Bell for 198, England eventually totalling 355 before the side were retired.
Only five thousank people were present when Wyatt beat Wade in the toss and elected to bat in what the groundsman described as a "fast but sweating" wicket, adding that might cause stickiness early on in the day.
