(United Press Association.—By Electru Tcdegraph—Copyright).

(Received this day at 11.30 a.m.) CAPETOWN, January 20.

The third test was drawn. Play continued in muggy weather. With Wyatt’s dismissal at 15(5 Hammond and Leyland flogged the howling mercilessly, .the former reaching a century in 163 minutes. Chapman declared at lunch with 1 lor 223, obviously intending to make a bold bid for a victory.

South Africa made an inauspicious start, and it looked as if the Englishmen would win. when three wore down for forty-seven. Then Taylor and Catterall became associated in a stubborn partnership extricating the side from an acute position.

At tea time a draw was inevitable

and interest waned
