Some remarkable cricket was seen on the difficult wicket between lunch and ten when 11, wickets fell for 83 runs.
Yorkshire lost their remaining five wickets for the addition of 36, mainly due to some fine bowling by the lefthander Johnston.
But Australia, needing 60 to, win, were soon struggling.
The opening pair, Morris and Brown, were back in the pavilion with only five on the board, shock followed shock, and when. Gix wickets were down for 31, thoughts of a dramatic victory #ushed through Yorkshire minds.
But then Harvey and Tallon came together and took the score to 47 at tea, leaving Australia 13 runs to get for victory. The necessary runs were made without the loss of another wicket

Unorthodoxy in the opening was the rule as well on the third board where Ray Danenberg and L Schure fought out five hours of a Queen's Gambit Accepted.
Both were playing well and the end-game study of four pawns and 1wo bishops aside was on the classic side with neither player committing himself to a single mile- take.
Schure had permitted himself a lost tempo or two earlier but both were alive to positional possibilitios and a draw after 50 moves was the fairest result to a well-pinyed game.
