South Africans Make A Splendid Recovery In

First Test Match Against M.C.C.

Viljoen, Dalton, Langton Pull The Game Round

The South Africans made a splendid recovery in the First Test match against the M.C.C. at Johannesburg, and at the end of the first innings were only 32 runs behind the tourists. A century by E. L. Dalton and a hard-hit 64 by A. B. C. Langton towards the end of the innings enabled the South Africans to reach 390 in answer to the M.C.C. total of 422,

At close of play yesterday, the M.C.C. had made 103 for the loss of one wicket. There being only one more day left for play, the match seems likely to end in a draw.
