Barry Flicker led the way; the experienced campaigner still showed he can put a shift in at the wicket as he was there for 87 deliveries for a fine knock of 46, the top score in the innings.

Eddie Rudolph chipped in with 29 and there were knocks of 25 from Alert Southall-Brown and 23 from number eight bat Jack Tierney while number seven bat Jack Dallyn scored 15.
