AUSTRALIANS FACE DEFEAT BY INNINGS 120 Runs in Arrears with Five Wickets in Hand
FINGLETON AND BRADMAN MAKE STUBBORN STAND
Australia continued to make a gallant fight to avoid defeat when the second Test match was resumed at Sydney this morning, and by adding 63 runs for the loss of two wickets by the luncheon interval had increased their overnight score of 145 for 1 to 208 for three.
But they wore two very vital wickets. Firstly Fingleton went after adding seven to his score which at the close yesterday was 67, and then, after Bradman had contributed a further 25 to his overnight innings of 57, he lost his wicket.
At lunch Australia were 138 runs behind with seven wickets in hand.
With resumption of play, however, two wickets fell in quick succession, the score standing at 226 for five, leaving the Australians' 120 runs in arrears.
