Our thanks to Arthur Haygarth for collecting the information and to Roger Heavens for providing this scorecard which was first published in Arthur Haygarth's Cricket Scores and Biographies Volume 16. Copies of the book can be obtained from http://booksoncricket.net . Additions or corrections to this scorecard would be gratefully received.
Source notes that "W. Oscroft, owing to a bad hand went in late. Another account put the first innings of England 109 with Bates making 29. These various conflicting statements give enormous trouble and are caused by the carelessness of those employed to record the game."
This match was played for the benefit of the English Players and in another account came off on the 16th and 17th.
