Sutcliffe (not out) ... 10 Killick (not out) 23 Total for 0 wickets ... ... 34 Stumps were then drawn. (Received this day at 11.25. a.m.) LjONDON, June 17. A well-filled ground saw the Africans make a patient reply to England’s moderate score, though play was even slower than on Saturday. The spectators’ philosophically watched Mitchell’s prolonged first test stonewall, especially after lunch when he scored eight runs in 80 minutes. He batted lor six hours scoring 83 runs. There was some excuse for care in the early stages as the pitch was covered with dew. Larwood once rose surprisingly and hit Mitchell badly in the face. The opening stand of 119 was South Africa’s best in test cricket against England. They had never previously reached a hundred. Larwood bowled at exceptional pace, sending Christy’s stump 15 yards. Mitchell went on imperturbably while the wickets fell, and the run getting became slower’ than ever. All the bowlers were keeping an excellent length. White had a seventy minutes’ spell after lunch, bowling 14 overs of Wuich nine were .maidens. V The crowd was sorry to see Mitchell fail to get his century, in his first test. He lias been called an unbowlable boy. He batted 7 hours in a chanceless, but wholly uninspired innings. * .. The visitors’ innings lasted 440 minutes. England batted for .an hour.
