Shanghai, To-day

A brilliant batting partnership between A. H. Madar and G. C. Burnett saved Hong Kong from ignominious collapse in their second innings in the Interport cricket match here to-day. These two young players (both bowlers) defied the strong Shanghai attack when the score-board showed 53 for 7 wickets. Both men batted splendidly, treat- ing the bowling on its merits, and opening out to anything loose.

Madar was in great form, playing attractive shots all round the wicket. Burnett played a nice straight bat, and drove beautifully on the off.

The pair had added 60 for the eighth wicket and were still undefeated at tiffin. Their display has given Hong Kong a chance for victory.

As play opened this afternoon Hong Kong were 90 ahead with three wickets in hand..

Shanghai, 12.39 p.m. There was brilliant sunshine and the wicket is drying fast. The outfield was cut. The bigger wicket is making no difference. Hamilton was caught by Coward off Isaacs for ten (37-4-10). Four runs later Mitchell was clean bowled by Mansel-Smith for three (41-5-3). Fincher is not out with eleven.
