Bruce Mitchell and P. G. Van Der Byl, opening the South Afritans' second innings, took the score to 191 before being separated, but without any addition to the total, three wickets- those of Mitchell, Van Der Byl and E. A. Rowan fell. The South Africans are now already 407 runs in the lead, and a stiff task for M.C.C. in the fourth innings is assured.
Van Der Byl, who made 125 in the first innings, scored 97 yesterday, missing by three runs the distinction of being the first South African to score a century in each innings in a Test..
