After a delay, surely needless, of 70 minutes, England lost five wickets for 10 runs in 35 minutes and were redeemed to a healthier 369 only by two fielding lapses which allowed D'Oliveira a fine 59 and Higgs 95 minutes stoical if somewhat fortunate supporting resistance. Then in 135 minutes Pakistan lost four wickets for 78 runs and finished 219 runs behind. It was the morning, however, which provided the day's highest excitement.

The slightest of seeping moisture may conceivably have quickened the pitch. Salim and Asif sensed at once their clear opportunity, made the most of it by attacking to lengths aggressively full, and England were quickly in such trouble as probably confounded even Hanif's expectation. Barrineton felt for an out- swinger in Asifs first over and was causht at the wicket. The first thanks to d'Oliveira's crisp forcing and hooking a stand, born in desperate anxiety, advanced to 50 in only 75 minutes. Leg spin, again called belatedly, took the last tricks, though not before d'Ohveira, with two hooks and a glorious pull had cudgelled Intikhab successfully for 4, 4 and 6.

These last shots carried d'Oliveira to his 59 out of 86 in just over two-and-a-ouarter hours. He had not this shot he was caught on the boundary by Intikhab off Mushtaq. ball of Salira's second over was too innings, but had burst the bubble fast for Graveney's forward shot of Pakistan's confidence just The last had Close caught off the when it was growing dangerously bat's shoulder at gulley.

The contest appeared well lost to her when she went two down to Margaret Myles (Falkirk Tryst), a Scottish international, at the thirty-fourth.

But in a remarkable finish Mtss Myles drove out of bounds at the thirty-fifth and sent her tee-shot into a brook guarding the short thirty-sixth green. She lost both holes and Miss German, looking quite bewildered at her good fortune, chipped dead for a par four and then achieved her victory at the second "sudden death hole Caygill does it The Manchester club's course at Hopwood, which proved terror to G. Caygill (Cleck-heaton) last year, relented this time and he won the Leeds cup tournament hy adding a 71 yesterday to his first round score of 69. followed hy two knock downs for a total of 11 faults. Smith, virtually presented with the trophy, produced his third clear round for the easiest of wins and leaving no one in the slightest doubt now as to whose particular week this is.

From 22 horses eligible by high placings during the ueek eight went clear over the initial course but only two repealed the feat over the second one. It was a disappointment that Mister Softee could not do so and Broome retired after 16 faults. Six riders with a total of four faults shared third place, among them Seamus Hayes for Ireland on Goodbve and the Italian Graziano Mancinelli on Petter Patter. ATHLETICS Aggression needed in field events From John Rodda Budapest, July 28 Putting into a new perspective the events at Duisberg last weekend, where Britain's men were knocked out of the European Cup, is the 'first task for the British party on the tour of Hungary and Poland which they begm here tomorrow. The men can show that in different circumstances they are better than the Hungarians, who elminated them: if the cup competition had been a series of matches with each country, scored separately, Britain would have beaten the Hungarians by 12 events to eight In a two per event match, which is what we have here, that gap will be cut, with the Hungarians taking most of the second places in the field events, yet Britain should still win by half a dozen points.

What are most needed though, particularly with the hardest task, in Poland, to come, are some aggressive performances in the field, as well as on the track, with the reward of British records. This, of course, has no effect on the score, but it would do morale good. After Duisberg it was low. The massive Nep Stadion, where the European championships were held last year, has been the scene of several British successes. In the last match here, in 1S63, following the defeat of Russia and the long weary journey from Volgograd, the British men beat the Hungarians by a point Roy Sandstrom set the UK 108 metres record of lO.Ssec.

on this track, and Berwyn and1 David Jones are among those who have equalled it here. Chris Carter set his national BOO metres record on the track a year ago, Mike Parker clocked 13.9sec for the 110 metres hurdles, and Allan Rushmer and Bruce Tulloh have had their best 10,000 metres runs here The deficit in the field Is going to be high again, but it is conceivable that the shot putters can be split and that maximum points can be won in the long jump Elsewhere, personal bests and British records in such events as the hammer, javelin, and discus still may not be good enough, and going into a competition with that in mind is, of course, depressing The women will help in this matter of team spirit. They go to the finals of the European Cup, where they will face their opponents of this tour. It will be difficult for them to do much better than run the Polish girls to within eight points Poland should win the European trophy but the Hungarians can just be beaten. The pity is that Sue Piatt, who threw the javelin so well in the cup competition in Oslo, is injured ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL League Cup draw The draw for the first round of the Football League Cup, matches to be played on August 23, was made Manchester last night as follows WorklnstOD oldlum Atnitllc Barron Southporl.

In little more than half an hour Pakistan had almost turned the match upside down. Things go wrong Then, with cricket's perveise waywardness, things began to gu wrong for them. Higgs pushed Asif so gently just to the off side that, but for the bowler's failure to pick up, his race for a single must have meant his instant dis missal run out Next d'Oliveira, who had been scoreless for half an hour, lofted his first attempt to drive Asif and was dropped by Saeed at mid-off Other edged 'shots were forced from both batsmen, yet never would the ball go to hand.

The turning ball, which often lifted and flew from a length for the quicker bowlers, posed too many problems for Essex's inexperienced batsmen, and they were bowled out twice, for 119 and 80. Their first innings, continued in the morning, lasted only another hour, during which eight wickets fell for 49 runs, largely due to Morgan's bowling. With his oil-cutters he took six wickets for 26 and at one stage took Ave for three in seven overs. When Essex followed on 307 behind, Rhodes made the ball kick awkwardly.

Although Essex reached 54 for three by lunch, their last seven batsmen added only 26 runs, Morgan finishing with five for 41 and Rhodes with four for IS Morgan had match figures of 11 for 67 DERFtlr Sil RE.
