LONDON, Aug. 25,

The match against Gloucester was resumed iu line weather aJid wicket good. (Received this day at 9.40 a.m.) LONDON, Aug. 25.

Ten thousand were present and saw Ponsford and Jackson make a very cautious start, as the wicket enabled the howlers to turn the ball. Jackson batted for an hour for eight before lie was bowled. Gloucester’s total was passed without further loss. Bradman was more restrained than usual. Ponsiord carried his total past the half century, but Kippax, McCabe and Richardson all failed against the good bowling of Parker, Goddard and Sinfield. At one stage four wickets fell for the addition of two run's.

Gloucester batted again in the presence of over seventeen thousand, on when the - gates were closed. Sin-, field left at twenty-one but Dipper and Hammond defied the bowling.. The latter was responsible for the County quickly wiping off the deficit. Hammond played his best innings against Australia this season and reached fifty in fifty-five -minutes including i ten fours. He then lifted Grimmett for a terrific six.

At stumps Gloucester was sixty-two ahead with seven wickets intact. GLOUCESTER—Ist Innings.
