Hutton and Washbrook took the score to 42—England's highest opening partnership of the series thus far[1][2]—before the latter edged Lindwall to Johnson in the slips and was out for 13.[18][3] Edrich and Washbrook were then subjected to repeated short balls, and the latter was hit several times on the fingers while fending down Lindwall's bouncers, having decided to avoid the hook shot.[4] However, they survived Lindwall's spell of bowling.
