Toshack trapped the home captain Norman Yardley leg before wicket with a ball that straightened after pitching,[29] ending with 1/28 as England were bowled out for 165.[3] Toshack then came to the wicket at 9/476 and was involved in an aggressive final wicket partnership of 33 with Johnston, scoring 19 runs—his best at Test level to date—in just 18 minutes, batting in a carefree and freewheeling manner,[30] before falling lbw to Alec Bedser, ending Australia's innings on 509 with a 344-run lead.[19]
