England won again, but this time faced a series-decider in the final match at The Oval , without George Lohmann of Surrey and William Gunn of Nottinghamshire, who went on a strike over match fees allegedly received by the amateur WG Grace . In the first Test at Lord's , England won by six wickets, chasing 108 to win, but Australia recovered to win the second Test at Old Trafford , despite 154 from Ranjitsinhji on debut - as the first Indian to play Test cricket, and only the second to score a century on Test debut. The third Test was ravaged by rain, and in poor playing conditions England won by 66 runs. The highest individual score in that match was 47 from Australian Joe Darling .
