The Second Test match between England and Australia, ́ at Lord's, resulted in a draw, the second of the present series. England were Farnes two wickets down for 39 runs when Wellard Verity and Edrich resumed the Verity batting yesterday morning and the Wright England score was taken to 242 for Edrich

the de- 8 when Hammond made claration and put the Australians in.

The Australians made a gallant attempt to reach 315 runs for vic- tory, but when stumps were drawn had only scored 204 runs for the loss of 6 wickets.

con-

Highlights of the fourth day's play was Dennis Compton's bril- liant undefeated stand of 76, and Ernest Paynter's valuable tribution of 43, when things, looked indeed black for England. Brad- man added another century to his already fairly long list, scoring exactly half of Australia's total of

204 runs.

Ames did not field during the day as he received a nasty knock on the hand while batting and an revealed a x-ray examination fracture of the little finger of his left hand. He fears he will not Ham- play again for a month. mond, with an injured leg, will rest from a few county matches to be fit for the Third Test on July

8.

When England took the field Payn- ter donned the wicketkeeping gloves and pads in place of Ames, and Hard- staff feded as substitute.

TIMELESS TESTS

Great Tribute Paid To

Ernest Paynter

·Sydney, To-day.

The dramatic ups and down in the Second Test match kept Australia on tenterhooks, but there was a renewal of the clam- our for timeless tests" as a re- sult of the first two matches be- ing drawn.

Allan Kippax said that Brad- man must have missed Clarence Grimmett terribly. M. A. Noble, Test the veteran Australia cricketer, said that Ernest Paynter must rank as one of the greatest fighters in cricket history-Reuter.

ANOTHER WORLD RECORD FOR DON BRADMAN

London, To-day.

In scoring 102 not out out of 204 for 6 in the Australians' second venture at the wicket against Eng- land, Don Bradman, the Tourists' skipper, set up another world mark by beating Jack Hobbs' record of scoring more than 8,696 runs in the England-Australia Tests.-Bri- tish Wireless.
