Yallop both bowled and Yallop took a wicket. Australia responded well in the second innings at first, with Hilditch and Border scoring half centuries as they went to 1-103. However a collapse saw Australia crash to 7-175, a lead of only a 140 with a session and a half to go. "When I got out I thought that was it", admitted Hughes later. However Geoff Dymock and Rodney Hogg held out for an hour, then the match was washed out with rain and ended in a draw. Hughes later said he felt Australia were lucky to draw. "We were in a golden position on the first day, and half way through the second day, but we blew it", he said. "We should have got ourselves into a position where we couldn't lose, and then kept the pressure on India... Obviously we'll be paying a lot of attention to our batting. I thought the top-order batsmen were very disappointing". Second Test There were some doubts the second test would start as scheduled due to a monsoon. Rick Darling replaced Whatmore in the side, with Wood dropping down to number six. Bruce Yardley came in for Dymock. Shivlav Ladal made his test debut for India. Australia won the toss and batted, with Hilditch and Hughes scoring half centuries. However they collaposed to be 5-294 to 333 all out. India's innings was marked by problems involving Rodney Hogg. According to Wisden: Hogg could not work up speed, and at the start of the Indian innings again had trouble landing his front foot in the right place. After being no balled seven times in five overs delivered from different ends, Hogg lost his temper on the second evening and kicked down the stumps. The incident would have fouled the atmosphere had Hughes not taken prompt action, tendering an immediate apology to the umpire and persuading Hogg to express his regret at the end of the day's play. Bob Merriman later announced that it was decided no disciplinary action would be taken against Hogg. He wound up with figures of 0-118 off 32 overs, the first time he had failed to take a wicket in a test. Hurst took 0-93; Yardley had figures of 4-107, but was too ill to bowl towards the end as India declared at 5-457. Rick Darling had left the field while Australia was fielding and was too ill to open
