Rec. Dec. 7, 5.0 p.m. Sydney, December 7. The nrsfc Test matcli-was won by England, by 10 wickets. After gaining a lead of 164 runs on the first innings, England disposed of Australia for a similar number of runs. Nagel (21) and O'Reilly (7), re- j sumed for Australia to-day, but O'Reilly was disxnissed before any addition was made to the core. Requiring one run to win, England sent in Sutcliffe and Wyatt, the former gaining the required single. Australia did very well indeed to dismiss the last five English batsmen before lunch yesterday for the addition of only 45 runs. The game was continued in fine, warm weather with the wicket showing very slight signs of wear.

Pataudi and Allen added 39 before Allen played one baek to O'Reilly. Previously both Allen and Pataudi should have been out in a similar manner, O'Reilly failing to hold two very difficult chances. Following Allen's dismissal, Pataudi cut Nagel to the fence, reaching his century in 302 minutes. He had hit six fours and has given a very dour display. Ames gave McCabe at silly point the simplest of catches, and, without addition to the total, Larwood stepped in front of a straight one. This was a real purple patch by O'Reilly, as this morning he had bowled 10 overs, seven maidens, for 10 runs and three wickets. Pataudi played over a ball from Nagel, which kept low and the innings closed after 609 minutes. The last four wickets fell for six runs. O'Reilly bowled to-day with excellent judgment and flighted the ball well. He maintained an accurate length. Australia's Second Innings Australia's hopes received a severe setback in the second innings. With only two on the board Ponsford stepped forward across his wicket, leaving it unprotected, hut the ball did not swing away to leg as Ponsf ord exIpected, taking the middle stump. Fingleton came in and scored two fours. He then saw Woodfull hit over a half-volley to have his stumps shattered. The Australian captain was at the wickets 25 minutes without seoring. Larwood had taken one wicket for no runs off four overs. There was another thrill when McCabe lifted Voce over the leg fence for six, Jardine immediately went to field on the boundary in that position, but, by steady scoring forward of the wicket, McCabe and Fingleton carried the total past 50 in 68 minutes. McCabe was uncomfortable facing Hammond, who was nipping sharply off the pitch and after two leg-before appeals had been negatived, Hammond was successful with his third. Richardson xvas out to the first ball he received, being caught in the slips. Hammond had taken two wickets for six. Beaten by Larwood Australia was still 64 behind, Kippax was completely beaten by Larwood's pace. Oldfield fell a victim to the leg trap and Fingleton, after a fighting innings, also liftecl one to leg. Wall and Nagel made an unexpected stand and Nagel and O'Reilly earriecLilie total to 164, depriving England of an innings victory. When the total was 163 Nagel rau yards down the crease and missed, but Ames failed to take the ball and missed an easy chance of stumping. It was again very evident to-day that the Australians do not relish Larwood and Voce bowling to the leg field. Larwood finished with five wickets for 28. Nine balls sufficed to finish Australia's second innings. Allen bowled a maiden to Nagel and Voce's third delivery shattered O'Reilly wickets. The innings lasted 214 minutes. Sutcliffe scored a single off McCabe's first ball, and England won the first Test. The impression gained was tliat England is definitely superior in both bowling and batting, with Australia ahead in the fielding. The total attend&nce was 158,125 and the takings £14,854.
