This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
This return match was drawn with no decision on first innings, with rain preventing any play on the second day and the match being abandoned at 2.30 pm. The match between the two teams at Exeter in July had been won by Devon.
For Berkshire, there were 8 fours in Watts's 56. For Devon, Harrison's 63 included 6 fours, an innings of 80 minutes. In the Devon innings, Light and Boles added 66 runs for the eighth wicket. When he had scored 4 in the Berkshire innings, Bennett reached the career milestone of one thousand runs in championship matches. [An alternative version of this score based on the Devon Scorebook has Light conceding 70 runs, Boles 74, Francis 14 and Bamberger 13 adding incorrectly to 230.]
