During the innings, Lindwall appealed for lbw four times while wicket-keeper Ron Saggers—standing in for the injured Tallon—remained silent, not supporting the appeal.[86] England ran up a large score of 496 but squandered a very strong position after losing their last 8 wickets for 73 runs; Lindwall had Compton caught down the leg side to give Saggers his first Test catch, leaving England at 6/473.[2][87] Lindwall ended with 2/79 from 38 overs.[20] Fingleton said "this grand fast bowler held the side together splendidly and answered every call".[87] O’Reilly said that until England collapsed—mostly due to unforced errors despite favourable conditions[88]—only Lindwall appeared capable of threatening the batsmen.[89] He said the paceman "kept slogging away, tirelessly retaining his pace and enthusiasm long after the other members of the attack had lost all signs of hostility ... Bradman could not afford to spare him from doing much more than his share of the galley-slave work."[89] O’Reilly decried Lindwall's workload as excessive and potentially harmful to his longevity.[90]
