On resuming, Gregory was taken in the slips. Bardsley added 48 for the sixth wicket, and was bowled by a yorker after 120 minutes' good allround play. He hit a six and a four. Matthews hit up ten in fifteen minutes, but the remainder of the side collapsed except Minnett, who played a vigorous innings for an hour. He hit eight fours. The innings lasted 165 minutes.
