Notes
--> Bowling in the Marylebone Cricket Club innings adds 3 runs over
--> Bowling in the France innings adds 2 runs over

The match was arranged as part of the becentenary celebrations of the 1789 French Revolution, which had led to the cancellation of the first ever cricket tour.
The match was played on an artifical pitch.
