PF Warner (56) D Denton (78), FL Fane (60) and AE Relf (61*) all made half-centuries while Whitehead took the best figures of the home team's bowlers with 6/100.

[3] After four days of rest, the MCC and Western Provinces came together once more at the same ground, and on this occasion the home team won the toss and chose to bat.

Batting first, the MCC declared on 480 built from a 130 from Denton, and half-centuries from LJ Moon (80), Sir Henry Leveson-Gower (67*) and Crawford (54).

The MCC then stumbled 17 short of Natal's target when they were bowled out for 175, Denton top scoring with 53 and Nourse taking five wickets to go with his century.

[8] The final match of the tour for the MCC saw them meet the Eastern Province cricket team at Port Elizabeth on 20 February.

The MCC then reached 201 despite being at one time 30/3 with both Denton and Fane out for ducks, as Crawford (64) and Wynyard (54) made good preparation for the remaining Test matches with half-centuries.

The first six of the match from AEE Vogler, a South African Test debutant, helped see them to 91; however this was still 94 runs behind England's total.

Only Crawford showed any resistance out of the rest of the batting lineup, however, with 42, and England were all out for 190 setting South Africa a target of 284 runs to win the match.

[11] England began their second innings poorly, with the top three batsmen dismissed for single figures they reached 19/3, which soon became 25/4 when Moon was out for a duck.

A 65 from Fane combined with a 30 and 37 from Wynyard and Relf respectively helped England limp to 160 all out, leaving South Africa a target of only 32 runs.

[12] In reply, England managed 295 thanks largely to 143 from Fane, no other batsman passing 36, with the South Africa bowlers Snooke (4/57) and Schwarz (4/67) taking the majority of the wickets.

Sooke, who finished with figures of 8/70, removed the remaining batsmen to leave England all out for 196 and give South Africa a 243 run victory to take an unassailable 3:0 lead in the series.

South Africa surpassed England with a score of 333 all out, thanks to Snooke (60) and a rapid 62 in 75 minutes from AEE Vogler, the last-wicket partnership being worth 94.

Four wickets for Nourse and three for Schwarz helped seal South Africa's victory by an innings and 16 runs, taking the Test series 4:1.
