Interesting Position, »

When play was resumed thin morning, the position was extreme- ly interesting. Obviously, it was anyone's game. The collapse of England's tall yesterday upset all calculations, and the comparatively neglible lead of 20 had before the day's end been converted into a de- ficit of 98 runs, costing Australia two wickets.

Victor Richardson again failed miserably, scoring 6 ns against 3 in the first innings, while Henry did very little better, though he helped to put on 53 for the second wicket.

Woodfull-batted stondily and con- fidently, while Kippax rendered him good support.

The pair, Woodfull (64) and Kip- pux (34) took their place at a wie ket which was showing signs of wearing this morning-the fifth day of the match. The ball occasionally turns, and more often keeps low.

Slow Scoring:

Ram came extremely slowly, Tate and Larwood bowling bril liantly, Kippax was always in difficultles, and was kept on the defensive, scoring even less rapid ly than his stolid partner.

Twenty runs had been added when Australia suffered their first mishap, Kippax being howled by Tate. Kippax had added only seven runs to his overnight score, while Woodfull had been making
