THRILLS THIS MORNING

Dr. O'Hara took the fteld again when Hong Kong resumed batting this morning, his leg injury hay- ing been attended to overnight.

Anderson (34) and Wyatt (5) went out to bat with the total at 210 for five wickets. Leach, the Shanghai captain, bowled from the Law Courts end to his leg trap and Anderson took a single off his first over. "Torry" Wilson was put on at the Dockyard end.

EIGHTH WICKET DOWN The wicket appeared to have rolled out well but Leach made the ball kick and Wilson with his second delivery, brought about a separation, hitting Anderson's off stump with one which did not rise more than a few inches. Hong

Kong's eighth wicket thus fell for

211.

Batting for just over an hour altogether, Anderson executed same pretty strokes and hit four fours in his 35.

A bye and then two by Bowker off Leach, the ball being lifted over mid-off's head, gave Hong Kong 230 (in 225 minutes alto- gether), 4 runs having been made to-day in half an hour. A lovely off drive to the pavilion by
