File 3: Cables and accounts of the Third Test Match between Australia and England at the Adelaide Oval

5 1st. day Broadcasting (con.) Friday, January 13th Announcement at beginning of second broadcast at 8.30 a.m.

We are now going to continue the description, started between 7.45 and 8.0 a.m. of the third Test Match between England and Australia at Adelaide, through the courtesy of the manufacturers of GILLETTE razors and blades.

The world-wide success of GILLETTE has been due chiefly to its achievements in the treatment of steel, both in tempering and fine edging. Nearly every important operation employed in the making of a GILLETTE blade is the result of study and experiment on the part of GILLETTE engineers. Their latest accomplishments are embodied in the new slotted blade; its features are a more durable steel and a sharper edge than ever achieved heretofore.

If you have not tried the new slotted GILLETTE blade, buy a packet today and prove to yourself that it gives a keener shave and lasts longer than any blade to have previously tried. Make sure you ask for the slotted GILLETTE blades which fit all types of GILLETTE razors.

The break in the weather at Adelaide was evidently not too serious, as it was fine and cool when the game began this morning. Jardine's luck at last changed as he this time won the toss. He inspected the wicket, which appeared to be good and England therefore have the advantage of taking first knock.

Pataudi and Bowes were omitted from the English team, Verity and Paynter taking their places. Brown is twelfth man. The ground was packed and the city is crowded with visitors, the accommodation being very much overtaxed. . Jardine opened the English innings with Sutcliie, but in the 4th over he was bowled in trying a leg glance. Hammond went in first wicket down but after 20 minutes play he was brilliantly caught at the wicked by Oldfield and then Sutcliffe was also caught from a magnificant catch at mid on by Wall, who dived to catch the ball and just managed to hold it. This disastrous opening was due to really superlative bowling. Ames who was the next in was clean bowled when playing back. The score at lunch was 37 for 4 wickets, a record low score, Leyland being not out 12 and Wyatt 3.

After lunch O'Reilly and Wall carried on the bowling. Runs came slowly, but gradually the rate of scoring quickened, the partnership reaching 50 in 55 minutes. Wyatt was somewhat severe on Grimmett, he hit this bowler for two sixes to square leg. The 100 went up after 141 minutes of play. Leyland, hitting hard, reached 50 in 103 minutes batting, which included 9 fours. Leyland has played an admiral innings, being very solid in defence, yet hitting anything approaching a bad ball very hard. Wyatt took another six off Wall and completed his 50 in 102 minutes. This stand of Wyatt and Leyland altered the complexion of the game. Their success has been due ro steady and resolute batting, sound defence and hard hitting when the opportunity occurs. Tea was taken with the score 154 for 4. The scores:- Sutcliffe c Wall b O'Reilly 9 Jardine b Wall 3 Hammond c Oldfield b Wall 2

When play started the wicket was distinctly fiery but after lunch it was playing very much easier. After the tea interval Wyatt and Leyland continued to defy the Australian attack and at 4.30 the score was 169 for 4 - Leyland 74 and Wyatt 69. The English team, particularly Leyland and Wyatt are to be congratulated on the way they have regained control of the game. Wall and O'Reilly have up to the moment borne the brunt of the bowling, but after their initial successes before lunch they have not reached the same high standard. Since tea the game has developed into a great struggle and the crowd have been enthralled watching the duel.

The partnership ended after it had added 156, O'Reilly bowling Leyland, whose splendid defence had lasted 3 hours and whose innings included 13 fours. Wyatt followed soon after, being well caught at long off. He took 164 minutes in compiling his 78 runs, which included 3 sixes and 3 fours.

Allen began with two fine cuts for four off McCabe. Paynter also got busy at once, driving Grimmett freely.

Announcement at beginning of first broadcast at 7.45 a.m.

We are now going to broadcast a description of the third Test Match between England and Australia at Adelaide, through the courtesy of the manufacturers of Gillette razors and blades.

Here is one piece of information about Gillette razors and blades that will interest our listeners. The Gillette factory in London is now supplying all the Gillette slotted blades sold in the Eastern hemisphere, that is all the world, except North and South America, is supplied with Gillette blades made by British labour and machinery built in England, a tribute to British engineering capacity.

If you have not tried the new slotted Gillette blade, buy a packet today and prove to yourself that it gives a keener shave and lasts longer than any blade you have previously tried. Make sure you ask for the slotted Gillette blades which fit all types of Gillette razors.

This morning Paynter carried on his valuable overnight innings and continued to bat very steadily against some accurate bowling,

Verity kept his end up with a strong defense and a straight bat. Paynter's individual 50 went up after 118 minutes batting and included six fours. Verity was missed by Ironmonger at second slip off O'Reilly when 16. Paynter sent up the 50 for the partnership in 75 minutes with a leg hit for 4 off O'Reilly. Verity was becoming more aggressive and got a red 4 from a square cut off Grimmett, whilst Paynter took 2 fours off the same bowler and sent up the 300 in 370 minutes of batting. Lunch was taken with the score at 315 for 7 wickets, Paynter being 72 and Verity 35. After lunch runs came slowly and before he could get settled down again Paynter was caught on the leg side in trying to pull a rising ball. He batted 185 minutes for his 77 runs, which included 9 fours. Verity was caught at square leg shortly afterwards and Voce being bowled by Wall for 8 the innings closed at 12 minutes past three for a total of 341. Considering that the first 4 wickets fell for 36, this is a particularly satisfactory total and reflects great credit on the later English batsmen. The full scores of the innings were:- Sutcliffe c Wall b O'Reilly 9 Jardine b Wall 3 Hammond c Oldfield b Wall 2 Ames b Ironmonger 3 Leyland b O'Reilly 83 Wyatt c Richardson b Grimmett 78 Paynter c Fingleton b Wall 77 Allen lbw Grimmett 15 Verity c Richardson b Wall 45 Voce b Wall 8 Larwood not out 3 Extras 15 TOTAL ..................... 341
