This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
Staffordshire won this rain-interrupted return match by an innings and 88 runs at 4.50 pm on the second day after enforcing the follow-on. Rain delayed the start of play on the first day until 3.00 pm. The match between the two sides at The Oval in July had been drawn.

second innings total of 39 was the third lowest of the season.
