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 well on the way to putting up the highest score ever mado ín a fourth innings. Set to make 696 in order to win in the Final Test, now being played at Durban, the 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 nt' 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 partnership in 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 i at lunch time. The previous record was held by Sutcliffe tak Tyldesley, whose parnership at Johannesburg in the 1027-28 tour produced 230 runs.

It was a glorious wicket which was rolled out well, although slightly worn in spots, when the spectators began to gather this morning. Walter Hammond, M.C.C. captain, was in no mood to take any chances and warned the spectators through a loudspeaker not to approach the wicket, which showed signs of crack- ing.

The balsimen were very slow at the the start, only nine runs being scored in 30 minutes.

Gibb reached his century in 362 minutes and he had then hit a five and two fours.

It look 310 minutes of baiting to

thiee wickets, Hammond having 58 not out and Poynter 24 not out.
