AMES AND VERITY IN FINE PARTNERSHIP.

Adelaide, To-day.

England are in an almost unassailable position in the Third Test. Ames and Verity added 89 runs this morning in an undefeated seventh wicket partnership to place England 504 runs in the lead at the luncheon in- terval. There were 20,000 present when play

this was resumed morning in unsettled weather. Rain fell in the early morning, but it left the pitch unaffected, though it is bound to leave its impression as the game con- tinues.

Jardine kept Paynter in re- serve and sent out Verity with Ames (18) to resume the Eng. lish innings.

Bradman completed his over, after having claimed Ham- mond's Wicket, with the first ball of the last over] of yesterday's play, and Wall and O'Reilly were again thrown into the attack, but they could not hinder the third hundred from being hoisted after 431 minutes batting.
