The match seen here is England v South Africa.
The location is The Oval.
It was a 3-day match, played on 17, 19 and 20 August 1935.
"Wyatt" is England captain Bob Wyatt.
"Siedie" is jack Siedie.
"Mitchell" is Bruce Mitchell.
"he finishes the day on 128" - actually, 128 was the score he was out for.
