Gibson took strike and put on 40 runs for the first wicket. V. Gibson was bowled by Fitchett for 16, and J. Gibson was taken in the slips off the same bowler immediately afterwards for 24. Gumming rattled up 15 quickly, and .1. Andrews retired when he hud made 8. 4. Ferris was not long at the wickets for 21, and Fairlio played well for his score of 15 not out. He gave an hard chance in the long' field off his first stroke, which resulted in 4 runs. Shoudun was not out for 8. The innings was declared closed with eight wickots down for 137 runs. Porter opened to Scardon, whom he cleaned bowled with his fourth ball. The wickets fell rapidly. Patey stayed at the wickets a long time for 5, and saw half the team retire before he lost his wicket.
