England Wins.

BY SEVEN WICKETS.

THE THIRD TEST.

AUSTRALIANS SCORE 476.

By Cable—Press Association—Copyright Received 17, 8.20 p.m. Adelaide, January 17. The match was renewed in bright weather. The wicket was good and the attendance 2000. Minnett at 39 and Hordern at 3 went to the wickets. In Barnes' first over Minnett was easily caught at cover-point without an addition to the score. Ransford was next, and Foster bowled at the other end. With three runs added Hordern softly returned a 'ball to Barnes, who took it with the left hand. Matthews was next man, and batted cautiously, like Ransford, whose thumb evidently jarred him. At 383 Douglas took a bail from Foster, Ransford glancing hii« fur 2, and reached double figures in 41 minutes. Matthews' time was 32 minutes. Then the latter swung Barnes to the squareleg boundary, and a series of singles brought up 400 in 427 minutes. With a new ball Foster went on again, vice Douglas, and Woolley at the other end.

At the luncheon adjournment the total, was 422—Ransford 24, Matthews 29. Foster and Barnes resumed bowling, and runs came, steadily, chiefly from Foster, who at 439 was replaced by Hitch. In his second over Matthews; who had made 39, was missed by Smith at short-stop. The fifth ball of the over bowled Ransford. The left-hander batted soundly for 108 minutes in painful circumstances. Eight for 447. . With Cotter in Matthewl hit a four off each bowled, and Cotter banged three fours in succession. Hitch then went on, and Matthews bowled Barnes. He played a plucky innings, lasting 114 minutes. / Trumper limped in and made a single. Then Cotter was bowled. The innings lasted for 497 minutes. Barnes bowled splendidly to-day. The fielding was good. ; Hobbs and Rhodes opened against Cotter and Hordern, with his googliea. In the second over Hobbs was out lei? before. One for 5. Gunn, the next man, was strictly, on the defensive, but Rhodes was aggressive. °

Armstrong replaced Cotter and steadied the scoring. When Rhodes was at 25 he was iadly missed in the slips by Armstrong off Hordern.

Minnett bowled instead of Armstrong, and as Hordern was . being punished Matthews bowled in his place. Kelleway was also tried when Rhodes , was at 50, and the century came in 05 minutes with two more up. Gunn was in 91 minutes, and hit four fourers. Hearne gave Kelleway an easy re- < turn before the same player caught him at mid-on. Mead went inj and Rhodes made the winning hit of four to leg off Matthews' ' bowling. ■ AUSTRALIA.
