Australia All Out for 422 after Stubborn Stand by Tail; Rain Interferes London, June:27. DRAW in the Second Test match at Lord's seems inevitable as a result of rain, which interrupted play for a few hours, and a stubborn stand by Australia's tail today. The Australians, whose score stood at 299-for five at the close of play on Saturday, not only saved a follow-on but actually passed the 400 mark. With O'Reilly contributing 42 in an aggressive knock, the Australian innings realized 422, or only 72 behind England. O'Reilly's 42 included two 6's—both in succession off Verity—and five 4's. Brown, however, was the saviour of the side, with a stolid innings for 206.
