FOURTH TEST MATCH.

ENGLAND STARTS WELL BUT WALL TAKES 3 WICKETS FOR 10.

HOBBS AND SUTCLIFFE IN THEIR ELEVENTH CENTURY FIRST WICKET PARTNERSHIP.

THROUGH REUTER'S AGENCY:]

MANCHESTER, July 25,

In the first innings of the fourth Test match at Manchester jon Friday, Australia were all out for 343.

England started on Saturday morning, and at the close of play had scored 991 runs for 5 wickets. With two days' play completed, a draw seems more than probable, but the fact that England must bat last, and therefore on a somewhat worn wicket, must not be Werlooked, a and much dependa en Grimmett's bowling.

England 231 for 5 Wickets. -

"

Lunch-time on the first day's play proved to be an excellent change bowler for England, for in spite of the fact that Wood- full and Ponsford were batting very steadily up till then and had put together 75 runs, without being separated, the former fell a victim to Tate soon after play was resumed. The score was then 103 for 1 wicket.

Bradman Comes and Goes.

Bradman was next man in and the question on every lip seemed to be, "Will England be able to get him out before he gets going!"

The bowlers were sending down their best deliveries, and the feldsmen were on their toes, but "Don" did not seem to pay much attention to this, and hit the ball plumb on the centre every time. Runs came slowly but surely, and Peebles, who was includ ed specially to suppress this "terror of the bowlers," seemed to keep him quiet right enough, and then! Cheers were loud and long, and Chapman was seen racing towards "Duleep," who was fielding in the slips, and embracing him. But why all the excite- ment! Because "Duleep" accepted a difficult chance from Brad- man and he had only scored fourteen 7138 for 2.

Bowlers Talls Up..

:

Allan Kippax filled the breach, but the bowlers now had their tails up and were doing their work excellently. Ponsford, in the meantime, continued to play good but somewhat slow cricket, but when he had taken his own score to 83 and the total to 184, he was clean bowled by Hammond.

McCabe joined Kippax, but he was not destined to stay very long, for after he had scored only four runs Peebles' appeal for "1.b.w." against him was upheld by the umpire.

bowled Richardson came-ånd went, for only a single. He was by Hammond, off one which broke back, and, with the score. at 190 for 5, prospects for England appeared very rosy. Fairfax, the newcomer, and Kippax had made 9 and. 15, both not out, respec- tively, when the tea interval was called.

ה

A Stubborn Effort.

After tea, Kippax and Fairfax put up a stubborn exhibition,. but after batting well for 83 runs, the former cocked up an easy chance to backward point off Nichols, and was caught by Chap- man-239 for 8.

Oldfield joined Fairfax, but was bowled neck and crop by Nichols after he had made 2 rats. Grimmett came out to play When stumps carefully, and neither batsman took any risks now. were drawn they had 21 runs each, both not out, and Mr. Extras" contributed 24 to bring the total to 275 for 7.

Kippax played a courageous knock, but had as many lives as a cat. Fairfax and Grimmett played skilfully and wore down the bowling without any difficulty, outplaying Peebles, whose length and break were deteriorating by this time. Nichols took two wickets for 20 runs, kept a beautiful length throughout, but was. very unlucky.

Australia All Out for 345.

MANCHESTER, July 26. Fairfax and Grimmett, the overnight "not outs," resumed Australia's innings and both played excellently. They put up a very stubbora defence, and in making a half-century Grimmett registered his highest score in Test matches: He was caught by Sutcliffe of Peebles, but just before he was dismissed Fairfax put bis leg in front of a straight 'un from Goddard. Hornibrook was caught at slip by Duleepsinghi off the same bowler, while "Tim" came from extras. Wall was not out for a single, and 33 runs Australia's total was 345.,

The wicket was still behaving itself, although the sky was over- cast and there was a crowd of 25,000 people to see a fine eighth wicket partnership between. Fairfax and Grimmett, which added 87 runs in two hours. They played a heroic game for Australia and got the runs just when England appeared, to have the upper. hand. Fairfax was at the wicket for three hours and ten minutes," during which time he put up a stubborn defence.

·England Bats: Another Century First Wicket Partnership.

At 12.05 p.ra., Hobbs and Sutcliffe strolled out to open Eng- land's innings, and, batting steadily, they brought the total to 20 when play was stopped for lunch-Hobbs-had-9-and-Sutcliffe- 16, the remaining 2 being extras.

Freshened by the rest, England's opening pair settled down to good cricket and went on to put up their eleventh century ɓrst- wicket partnership"against the men from down under." Hobbs was unusually slow, but Sutcliffe appeared very confident, and with the 100 mark amid much ap- a sharply run single he sent

up.

plause. The runs came at the rate of one per minute, but eight minutes later. Wall was given a turn with the ball, and bowling like one possessed he got Hobbe, Sutcliffe and Hammond out for

ten runs!

"Hobbs was caught by Oldfield in attempting to cut after having been at the wicket with Sutcliffe for two hours The Yorkshire man failed to get hold of cae properly from the same bowler and was caught by Bradman in the country. He batted for two hours and ten minutes; hitting a six and ten fours and did not offer any semblance of a chance... He made 74.

Duleepsinghi Again Bats Well.

After Sutcliffe got out, Duleepsingbi joined Hammond only. to see the latter bowled by Well for three, but Leyland came in and kept his end up till the tea interval, when "Duleep" was 18 and Leyland 1. The total was 136 for 3.

It was now England's turn to fight with their backs to the wall, and when Duleepsinghi settled down to some beautiful cut- ting, pulling and leg-glancing, prospects did not look too, dul, especially as Leyland was supporting the Sussex star in grend fashion. However, like all good things, Duleep's" stay at the wickets, eventually came to an end, when he cut the ball tamely into the hands of Hornibrook, who was fielding at short, slip.
