At stumps. Waitaki had lost six wickets for 44. Waitaki had Christchurch struggling at 77 for four but the later batsmen combined in useful partnerships to relieve the situation. D. PhMlipson and R. Lewis spearheaded Christchurch’s attack, Phillipson’s speed and Lewis’s slow leg-breaks keeping the batsmen well subdued. Lewis took two wickets and did not concede a run in his six overs while Phillipson conceded 14 from 14 overs, nine of which were maidens. Scores:— Christchurch 181 (Anderson 34. Candllsh 30.
