CRICKET TEST. (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright). (Received this day at 9. a.m.) LONDON, July 15. Intensely hot prolonged dry weather affected the wicket which developed dusty patches but it played truly. England batted quietly before lunch. Hammond certainly got six fours but was unusually restrained. Woolley played a masterful innings always confident, hitting a hard sixer and teil fours. " ' Hendren failed to survive the initi'n' over. England after lunch seemed to adopt more aggressive tactics, but the 'policy failed, South Africa taking 5 for 58. Deane adopted a quick change in his bewling. The South African fielding was off a high class, the substitute wicketkeeper Vandermerwe performed excellently and -took an abnormal number of leg side balls. He allowed only two byes. Larwood strained his ankle and did not bowl to-day. . The South Africans batted eautiously, especially after a. bad start. Fifty runs came up in eighty minutes.Mitchell and Morkel were especially •sedate./ Mitchell suddenly woke, up and hit Tate to the boundary twice.
