England hatted quietly before lunch. Hammond certainly scored six fours, Inn was unuHUully restrained. Woolley played a masterful innings. He was always confident, hitting a hard sixer and ten fours. Hciidreii failed to survive his initial over. England after lunch seemed to adopt more aggressive tactics but the policy failed, South Africa taking five wickets for 58.
