I awoke to the news that Australia had been dismissed in its first innings for 243. Rick McCosker had scored 51 of these and Kerry O’Keeffe remained not out on 48. At one stage in this Third Test, which is being played at Trent Bridge, in Nottingham, Australia was 8-155. At stumps England had scored nine runs without loss.
John Burles, on 2KY, played Kenny Rogers’ hit of the moment, “Lucille”, as well as that bonzer “oldie” of more than a decade ago, “You’ve Got Your Troubles”, by The Fortunes.

At 6.00 p.m., the final programme in the series, “Last Of The Wild”, is screened on Channel Two and is devoted to the study of apes. “Willesee”, on Channel Seven from seven o’clock, includes a segment devoted to the mother who allows her baby girl to play with snakes and lizards.
“Gemini Man” is viewed from half past seven. In this series, Ben Murphy is cast as Sam Casey, an agent who works for the government. Having been caught in an explosion whilst underwater, he discovers that he has the ability to render himself invisible.
England had advanced its score to be 2-50 when I turned off the television.
