England declared at the tea interval with 123 runs on the board, without the loss of a wicket. C. F. Waltors contributed 50 and II. W. Sutcliffe 00.

Saveral catches were missed in the field, the principio culprite being Hammond and Hendren. Hopwood too was guilty of a mistake when he sent in a bad return, which should have had O'Reilly run out before the follow-on was saved.
