Wednesday, January 18th

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.

Have you tried the new Gillette slotted blade? Although in appearance the difference
between it and the old three hole blade may not seem great, in design and use it is
revolutionary, for in this one blade you have the equivalent of two different steels. At
the edge a hard tough steel which will take a finer and keener edge than has ever been
possible before and round the slot a comparatively soft and pliant steel which will not
crack in the holder. Also this harder and tougher steel will hold its keen edge for
many more shaves than its predecessor.

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.

England 412 all out Australia 119 for 4

The weather was sultry when play was resumed this morning. Rain had fallen during the
night, which had freshened the wicket and the out field was slower than it had been before.

In the firat half hour only 20 runs were added and 47 in the first hour, the over night
batsmen Ames and Verity, were cautious and were in no way trying to force the runs, but
they soon appeared well set and confident, The 350 sent up after the innings had been in
progress for 492 miantes, The score at lunch was 385 for 6 wickets - Ames 64, Verity 36,
extras 31. Richardson was again taking Oldfield's place behind the stump as on doctor's
orders the latter was not playing. He is to be examined again tomorrow, when it will be
decided whether he is fit to bat or not:

After lunch the scoring was very alow, against the bowling of )'Reilly sad Ironmonger,
who, though they did not look very dangerous, yet gave few chances of easy runs. Australia
badly misasd the services of Oldfield. Richardson is quite unccustoned to wicket keeping
and missed five chances which Olaflela wosid probably have taken - 2 from Wyatt, 2 from
Verity and 1 from Ames. Australia's first success of the day came when Ames was bowled by
a lovely ball from O'Reilly. The partnorship had added 96 runs in 110 minutes, one run
later Verity was out lbw, also to O'Reilly. He played a very useful and careful innings and
bit 2 fours in his stay of 115 sinates at the wicket. Paynter came in next and it was easy
to see that he was very lame; Leyland came out to run for him. O'Reilly, in this period
after lunch, took 2 wickets for seven runs in five overs. The 400 runs went up after 546
minutes batting and shortly afterwards the innings came to an end, Larwood being caught at
long off; Voce, who was slogging at every ball bowled to him,after being missed. by Bradman,
