and 7/163 for the match. Miller was unfit to bowl during the Second Test at Lord's. During England's first innings, Bradman threw Miller the ball, hoping that he would reverse his decision not to bowl. Miller refused and returned the ball, citing his back. Miller's action generated news headlines, journalists believing that he had disobeyed Bradman. As a batsman, Miller was out for four in the first innings, not offering a shot to an inswinger.

The pair launched a counterattack, with Miller taking the lead. He hoisted Jim Laker's first ball over square leg for six.
