Smith joined Cavanagh. who , was playing confidently and scoring with clean shots all round the wicket.

Cavanagh continued his steady innings and reached his half-century in 75 minutes with a six into The Terrace. At this stage he had hit seven fours. Smith was playing quietly and the partnership withstood the attack of several changes in the bowling. At the luncheon adjournment Ihe -score was six wickets for 257.
