rung,
The match nearly opened with a hat-trick by Heap, the latter getting Marsay with the second ball of his second over before the score had been opened, and then dismissing Adams without addition. Bix blocked the fourth ball of the over carefully, but fell victim to the fifth, and three wie- kets were gone without score,
Even up to the eighth wicket, the position was gloomy, for with John's dismissal by Burford, the score was only 45. Spraggett put up a dour resistance, however, and slashed out at everything and held up his end while Booth added 41 run to the score before Pullen had the ninth man for obstruction.
