JUST when it looked as if the Players would end the day with the Gentlemen more or leas comfortably in their pockets, Kenneth Farnes and Freddie Brown came along with a late bit of bowling.

Farnes got Hammond and Ames in an over, Brown got Paynter and Compton (n duck, I regret to say).

It changed the face of things, and this morning they will start with nothing much in it, either way.

The Gentlemen had six out at lunch time. The pitch was full of pace and had a bit of lift in it. Hammond came off terrifically fast. And Arthur Wellard bowled excellently and with not too much luck. Goddard did not have a bowl till after lunch.

The quickness of the bull off the wicket deceived the eye of some of the Gentlemen not in regular big match practice. That is how I read the whole score.
