CRICKET

YESTERDAY

Leeds, July 26-If, as expected, Norman Yard- ley declares the first thing tomorrow morning, Australia will need 401 runs to win the fourth Test match against England and so make sure of winning the Ashes.

At today's close of play, the scoreboard showed England 496 and 362 for eight, and Australia 458, with their second innings to come.

Australia will have six hours in which to get the runs and England six hours in which to dismiss them, all of which points to an interesting final day's play. With the pitch a little dusty and showing slight signs of taking spin, England possess a fair chance of recording their firat victory against Australia since 1938. Unfortunately they have only one recognised spin bowler to take advantage of the conditions.
