ENGLAND MAKES 328

THIRD CRICKET TEST AT LEEDS AFRICA LOSES 7 FOR 116 (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) (United Service) Reed. 10.45 a.m. LONDON, Monday. In the third cricket test between England and South Africa the intensely hot, dry weather was affecting the wicket, which developed dusty patches; but it played truly. England batted quietly before lunch. Hammond certainly got six fours; but he was unusually restrained. Woolley played a masterful innings. He was always confident, hitting a, hard sixer and ten fours. Hendren failed to survive the initial over. England after lunch seemed to adopt more aggressive tactics, but the policy failed, South Africa taking five wickets for 5S runs. Deane adopted quick-change bowling. The South African fielding was high-class. The substitute wicketkeeper. Van der Merwe, performed excellently, and took an abnormal number of leg-side balls. lie allowed only two byes. Larwood strained an ankle and did not bowl today. The South Africans batted cautiously, especially after the bad start. Fifty runs came up in 80 minutes. Mitchel land Morkel were especially sedate. Mitchell suddenly woke up and hit Tate to the boundary twice. White put himself on, and got Mitchell in his second over. The attendance was 11,500.
