Stokes Nicely Taken

Stokes was the next to go, being nicely taken by Spittle off Barker. The latter was bowling well at thi stage and was making them come in from the off with repeated success. Morriss joined Jenkins and the two kept up the fast rate of scoring. Morriss had a life' at 11 when he should have been easily taken at mid-off, he was otherwise pulling to square leg with great effect. Jenkins exhibited a pretty square cut and looked good for his fifty. Morriss lof when he played inside an off bre: from Smailes, and Rawsthorne ran himself out soon afterwards for 4.

King joined Jenkins and the latter hit a four to raise the double century, and reach his fifty. The innings was then declared closed witn the score-being 202 for 5 wickets and the time 450 pin.
