New South Wales 136 in arrears and began their innings at 2.39 p.m. They were soon in trouble with both openers back in the dressing room and only fourteen runs on the board. A titanic struggle loomed. Higgs now joined Rummans and was soon into his stride. Higgs took to the Queensland bowlers with relish and victory was achieved at 4.42pm after the innings had been in progress for one hour and three quarters, quite a turn around from the slow batting witnessed earlier in the day.
