— By Telegraph — Copyright).

I^ec. March 10, 8 p.m. Adelaide, March 10. The weather was clear and hot for the cricket match England v. South Australia. The wicket was easy and the attendance poor. England opened with Verity and Payhter. The former survived a run out when 12, but was out the next ball, which he skied to square leg, Ryan taking an easy catch. Scoring was slow for the first hour, only- 30 being obtained and only 54 by lunch. Partnered by Wyatt, Paynter sparkled and was particularly destructive to Grimmett, running down the pitch and making brilliant straight drives. He hit Lee high for six to square leg. His bright innings terminated when he was 62, being caught at deep midon by Ryan. He batted for 130 minutes and hit five hours and one six. Grimmett also had Wyatt caught in the slips close in by Williams. Wyatt was steadiness personified during his innings for 43. He batted 94 minutes, opening with a four off Grimmett's third ball. Jardine settled down defensively. Leyland also lacked his customary vigour. At tea, the score was three- for. 157. Jardine was not inclined to hit, tak-

ing 75 minutes to score 30. Leyland scored four off Grimmett and Tobin bringing him up to 30. At this stage, Leyland escaped being run out, having misjudged a throw in. The main scoring was off Grimmett, who had two wiclcets for 99 off 15 overs. When 36, Leyland mishit Lee and was taken at deep point by Neitschke. He batted for 109 minutes, hitting three fours. He displayed unusual restraint. Ames straight drove Ryan for four. Two hundred was posted in 258 minutes. Ames opened out and straight drove Ryan with a crisp square cut. He quickly ran into the twenties in marked contrast to his captain, who was satisfied with occasional singles. ENGLAND

Bowling: Williams, one for 27; Grimmett two for 120; Lee one for 40.
