The defenses were held by the Ottoman 35th Division who were heavily outnumbered by Younghusband's forces. Although outnumbered almost 4 to 1, the Ottoman forces were stubbornly defended the Sheikh Sa'ad defenses. On the left bank, the failure to push through a concerted attack allowed them to hold their position without revealing the extent of the defenses. On the right bank, the Ottoman troops began to give way in the afternoon, allowing Kemball's brigade to occupy the forward trenches of the defenses.

At around 4 p.m., Younghusband called off the attack and ordered his units to regroup. Ironically, this forced Kemball to withdraw his troops from the Ottoman positions along the right bank, allowing the Ottoman forces to reoccupy them that night. In all, Younghusband's command suffered 600 dead that day.

As Younghusband's troops started to regroup, reinforcements for both sides began to arrive. Aylmer arrived with the 9th Infantry Brigade, 6th Cavalry Brigade, and the support troops. The Tigris Corps had an edge in number of artillery available, but most were either older types or lighter pieces. Furthermore, effective spotting for the artillery was still difficult as the Tigris Corps still had only an incomplete picture of exactly where the Ottoman defenses were. The balance of the 35th Division and 52nd Division were rushed up to the Sheikh Sa'ad defenses. Additionally, a brigade of Ottoman cavalry was also moved up to support the defenses on the left bank. In all, both sides could field about 9000 men.

⇒防御線を掌握していたオスマントルコの第35師団よりも、ヤングハズバンドの軍隊の方が数の上でははっきり勝っていた。しかし、およそ４対１の差があったにもかかわらず、オスマントルコ軍は頑強なまでにシェイク・サアドの防御線を守っていた。左岸の土手では、協調攻撃による突撃の失敗のせいで、防御線範囲を明かすことなく彼らに陣地保持を許してしまったのである。ただし右岸の土手のオスマントルコ軍は、ケンボール旅団に防御線前の塹壕の占拠を許してしまったので、午後には退去し始めた。

＞At around 4 p.m., Younghusband called off the attack and ordered his units to regroup.

⇒ヤングハズバンドは、午後4時ごろ彼の部隊に攻撃を中止して隊を再組織するように命じた。皮肉にも、このことがオスマントルコの陣地から自軍を撤退させることをケンボール自身に強いる結果になった。それで、オスマントルコ軍にとっては、その夜、右岸の土手に沿って自らの陣地を奪回・再占拠することができた。結局、ヤングハズバンドは自身の指揮によって600人の戦死をその日に被ったのである。

＞As Younghusband's troops started to regroup, reinforcements for both sides began to arrive. Aylmer arrived with the 9th Infantry Brigade, 6th Cavalry Brigade, and the support troops. The Tigris Corps had an edge in number of artillery available, but most were either older types or lighter pieces.
⇒ヤングハズバンドの軍隊が再組織しだしたころに、両岸用に強化隊が到着しはじめた。エールマーは、第9歩兵旅団、第6騎兵旅団、および支援軍隊を引き連れて到着した。そのチグリス隊は、利用可能な大砲の数では優勢に立っていたけれども、ただ、ほとんどは古いタイプや軽便な火砲であった。

＞Furthermore, effective spotting for the artillery was still difficult as the Tigris Corps still had only an incomplete picture of exactly where the Ottoman defenses were.

In all, both sides could field about 9000 men.
⇒さらに、チグリス隊はオスマントルコの防衛線がどこにあるかを正確に知るには不完全な写真しか持ち合わせていなかったので、砲台の効果的な設置場所の見分けはまだ難しかった。第35,第52師団の均衡した部隊が、シェイク・サアドの防御線に向かって急襲した。さらに、オスマントルコの騎兵旅団もまた、左岸の土手での防御線の支援をするために動員された。両陣営全体で、約9000人の兵士が出動した可能性がある。
