in Second Test Match Sydney, Dec. 21, EVASTATING fast bowling on a rain-soaked wicket, especially by Voce, the Notts bowler, allowed England to gain a commanding position to-day in the second Test match against Australia, When stumps were drawn for the day the Australians, who were skittled out for only 80 runs in their first innings and made to follow on had recovered some lost ground.
They were so far in arrears on the first innings, however, that they must pile up a huge total to make their opponents struggle for victory. The scores at the close of play were:
England Ist innings 426 for six declared. Australia Ist innings 80.
Australia 2nd innings 145 for 1, England's Victory
