Bradman's batsmen set about building on their lead and Lindwall was initially not expected to bat; the Australian captain was expected to declare just before lunch on the fourth day so he could attack the English openers for a short period before the adjournment, but a shower deterred him from doing so, as his bowlers would have struggled to grip the ball. Lindwall had also been injured on a slippery surface in earlier times.[50] Lindwall came to the crease to join Miller with Australia at 5/416 on the fourth afternoon.[2] They attacked at every opportunity before the declaration.
