Batting steadily 300 appeared in 267 minutes. Frequent bowling changes were tried, but Taylor saw Braun, Ward and Francois dismissed before making a fatal mishit to cover, his wicket being the eighth. He batted a chanceless innings lasting 310 minutes and played all round the wicket, except the square cut. and hit 25 fours. Blanekenberg and Nupen made the pace merry. The Englishmen started making runs quickly, but soon eased down. Sandham and Mead each gave a hard chance before the first wicket (Sandham’s) fell at 56, knocked up in 76 minutes. The bowling was good and the fielding keen. Mead, who was playing like a rock, went at 99. The third wicket fell at 114 and Kennedy was dismissed by an easy catch. The attendance was 7000.
