Madras, Feb. 20.-The fifth and final unofficial Test, which may decide the "rubber" between India and the Commonwealth tourists, had reached an interesting stage by the close of play on the fourth day. With one day remaining, India needs 209 runs with nine wickets standing to
win.
The Commonwealth, who made 324 in their first, innings, were dismissed a second ime for 247. By the close of play, India, 313, had scored 50 for one wicket in their second innings Victory for either side will decide the series, each having won one of the previous four "Tests," with two games drawn.
Resuming their second innings today before a crowd of more than 20,000, the Commonwealth batsmen, with the exception of the West Indies player, John Holt, never appeared too happy against spin bowling."
