ENGLAND'S BIG SCORE.
GLORIOUS EFFORTS BY HOBBS AND SUTCLIFFE.
FATEFUL LAST OVER.
The tense, atmosphere was not cleared as the result of the third day's play in the Fifth and Final Test at Kennington Oval.

The first consideration of the famous "pair, Hobbs and Sut- cliffe, was to stay in until they had set England on the high roud to a big score, and it was not until 172 was on the board that Gregory broke through Hobbs' guard. Hobbs had then made exactly 100, the eleventh Test century he has made against Australia.
Sutcliffe's effort was even more meritorious: He batted with admirable patience for 428 minutes, bringing off superlative strokes, but giving no chance. He defled every Australian bowler until the very last over of the day when Mailey clean bowled him. His 161 was glorious and flawless.
England had, reached 816 when the fourth wicket fell, but two more wickets fell before the close of the day's play, when England had scored 875 runs, which is 353 ahead, with four wickets to fall.
