The game was yogogi when Darby ickurned a ball to Barker, but the chance was a difcalt left band one and Barker failed to get hold of the ball. This was an expensivo miss. But came slowly, but both men were well ast and several bowl- ing changes had to be resorted to. Coxou hit Railton out of the ground for 5, but ultimately succumbed to the same bowler after scoring 33 out of 82. In the follow- ing wrer Lowson was clean bowled by Railton without adding to the score, and Leash had only augmented the score by 3 when he was sinertly caught at point by Jeffuis.
