RECORDS TOPPLE IN FIFTH CRICKET TEST MATCH

M.C.C. WELL ON WAY TO GREAT PERFORMANCE

EDRICH MAKES AMENDS FOR PAST FAILURES

The M.C.C. tourists in South Africa are woll on the way to putting up the highest score ever made in a fourth innings. Set to make 696 in order to win in the Final Test, now being played at Durban, tho English cricketers had scored 496 for the loss of only three wickets at close of play| yesterday, and now need only 200 runs with seven wickets in hand.

As it is, the M.C.C. have already broken the record fourth innings total in a Test, 411 made by England against Australia at Sydney in the 1924-25 series-in spite of this England lost by 193 runs but they are still 76 behind the 572 made by New South Wales against South Australia at Sydney in the 1907-8 season.

Durban. Mar. 13. A record partnershipin Test matches between England and South Africa was established by Gibb and Edrich to-day when they brought the M.C.C. second innings score in the Final Test to 333 for 1 at lunch time. The previous record was held by Sutcliffe anci Tyldesley, whose the parnership at Johannesburg in 1927-20 tour produced 230 runs.

It was a glorious wicket which was rolled out well, although slightly worn in spets, when the spectators began

to gather this morning. Walter Hammond, M.C.C. captain, was in no mood to take any chance und warned the spectators through loudspeaker not to approach the wicket, which showed signs of crock- ing.

The batsmen were very low at the the start, only nine runs being scored in 39 minutes.

Gibb reached his tentury in 362 minutes and he had then hit a ave and two fours.

It took 310 minutes of batting to bring the total to 301. The partner

ship yielded 200 in 244 minutes. Gibb

Edrich was in great form and de-

lighted the spectators with his grand driving. He punished pl except Langion, who kept a good length.

When the lunch adjournment came the score was 333 for 1. Glbb bad 112 to his credit and Edrich which included 17 fours.
