Kelly made great efforts to get him to leg, without avail Howell and Kelly scored slowly, the htter taking an hour and thre - quarters to compile his score. Trumpor was in two minds about Braund, and lost his wicket; while Hopkins, goin; oat at one, skied it to Tyldesley, in the out-field. Duff was brilliantly caught by Braund, low down, off hi 3 own bowling. Noble and Poidevin be it Braund by stepping out at him, and scored quickly. Several changes ware tried, but failed to separate the pair up to tb.9 tea adjournment. On resuming both batnnen reached the half century, within a few minutes of each o"her.
