The match was resumed in fine weather hut the wicket was wet following heavy rain. Bradman and McCabe played briskly from the outset, the latter reaching fifty in eighty minutes. When the partnership had added 101 McCabe was caught in the slips. Richardson soon went and 'Bradman was also the victim of Ryan. He gave a less attractive display than usual. The total was now 5 for 215. Ryan and Mercer routed the tailenders and the innings closed for 245. Gramophone records were broadcast through loud-speakers during the play and th® announcer made sly jokes at the expense of Australian rabbits. .Wall broke the County- opening partnership at fourteen. Rain stopped play for half an hour and upon the resumption the - wicket was treacherous and the wickets fell quickly in succession. Grimmett baffled the batsmen but the last ket, added- eleven,; thereby, saying; a’ follow on. - •' Walker ip showing remarkable form now, not allowing a bye during the last three innings, r ■ ''' “ ‘ Grimmett with six weeks of the tour left has already exceeded the 120 wickets taken in 1926.
