England spared more misery in tour match as WACA Chairman's XI declare on day two Anderson talks with acting captain Prior during day two of the Tour match. ENGLAND was spared further misery in the field in its opening tour match after the WACA Chairman's XI declared with a formidable total on the board in Perth. The tourists looked more threatening in their 90 minutes on the park this morning than they did yesterday but could only muster one further wicket, with the WA side declaring at 5-451. England's openers survived a short session before the lunch break to steer the side to 0-18, with Joe Root on 12 and Michael Carberry on 3. Resuming at 4-369, WA's Jim Allenby and Ashton Turner wasted little time picking up where the rest of the batting card left off yesterday, crafting eight boundaries in the opening half-hour. Chris Tremlett (0-88) was unable to find a breakthrough for the second straight day, but his replacement from the Lillee Marsh end, Steve Finn, had immediate success. Finn struck with just his third ball of the morning, trapping Allenby LBW for 53. Finn could have had another soon after as a pull shot from Triffitt flew just wide of the deep square leg fielder, but the worst miss of the morning was yet to come. Acting England skipper Matt Prior fluffed his lines when attempting to catch a skied hook from Triffitt, dropping the chance shortly before the declaration. WA paceman Burt Cockley left the field midway through an over on the stroke of lunch after sustaining a leg injury.
