Hong Kong are almost certain winners, and nothing but a sensational recovery can save Shang- kai who are in such a strong position before the G. C. BURNETT (K.C.C.) brilliant partnership yesterday of A. H. Madar and G. C. Burnett which produced 79 runs after the score has read 53 for 7 wickets.

A. R. Minu bowled splendidly last even- ing, his low deliveries perplexing all the batsmen. His spot of bowling was brilliant throughout, and as in the first innings he was always dangerous. He and Burnett will probably open the bowling to- day and Hamilton is the most likely first change for Burnett.

The Hong Kong fielding yesterday showed a great improvement on that of the first day when several chances were dropped. Capt. E. J. R. Mit- chell handled the bowling cleverly.

There is great optimism among the Hong Kong players who are looking forward to making the series of Interports 16 to 14 in the Colony's favour.
