Lindwall dropped Hutton from Johnston's bowling before he had scored and the English batsmen played and missed multiple times.[1] Hutton had trouble seeing and playing Lindwall's deliveries in the deteriorating light with no sightscreen available, and Fingleton described it as "probably Hutton's worst effort in a Test".[51] O'Reilly said Hutton "seemed to have lost all power of concentration and looked like a man being led to the gallows",[52] calling him "little more than a masquerader compared to the Hutton [of 1938]".[52] Hutton took 32 minutes of batting to score his first run of the innings.[53]
