Llewellyn and Sinclair, bowlerq, were vimful, and the fielding close. Runs were not easy to get. Kelleway was uninteresting, but Ransford was more aggressive, He returned a hit twice from Llewellyn, who missed him and was bowled for 24 (?). Bardsley began to score immediately. Sinclair had bowled eight overs for 11 runs, but the ninth yielded four, making 100 up in 105 minutes. At 111 Kelleway was smartly caught at the wickets by Pegler, and Schwarz tried the ball for twenty minutes. Tedious play followed and at the adjournment the score was 141. Sinclair bowled on resuming.

Trumper glanced each man to the boundary, and then banged Llewellyn twice for fours. Facing Sinclair he hit fifteen off one over, with four different shots. Trumper notched 44 out of 47 runs in 25 minutes. Pegler relieved Sinclair and Bardsley completed 200 in 173 minutes. A snick to the boundary gave Bardsley 50 in 87 minutes.

At 226 Nourse, who had relieved Faulkner, got Bardsley leg before. The batsman was suffering from a slightly strained wrist. Gehrs played a lively innings for 20, and made some fine strokes. Hill started with a stolen run. Trumper, driving Faulkner for four, completed his century in 126 minutes. In the same over Hill was caught at long-on off a no-ball. At the tea adjournment the total was 295 —Trumper 109, Hill 7. Llewellyn and Schwarz bowled after tea. Trumper was soon off again, but Hill was caught on the boundary behind the bowler. —Six for 319. In 246 minutes 350 runs were hoisted. Armstrong tried to place Sinclair to the on, but the ball kept low and bowled him. Seven for 384. Carter began watchfully, and Trumper continued vigorously, scoring three fours off Pegler's over, which brought the score to 400 in 312 minutes. Carter got out leg-before. Eight for 430. Cotter stayed for Trumper, who quickly ran to 200, which took him 227 minutes, He was in altogether 23U mitiutes, and hit 25 fourers. He dH not give a chance and scarcely made a false stroke during his magnificent innings, in which he only lifted the ball once, and that was for nearly a sixer, for which he received a great ovation. Thp fielding of the South Africans was fair. The weather changed to cool in the late afternoon, but rain is unlikely. Hill considers Trumper's was the finest knock he has ever seen.
