Paul Osborne(7-0-33-0) and Russ Doughty opened the bowling and kept a hold on the Wingerworth batsmen to begin with but Burnyeat soon began to get on top, hitting hard and straight. Young Calvin Cook was brought on first change and justified the captains faith bowling a good line and length limiting scoring opportunities and at the other end the experienced Ashley wheeled away and removed Rolfe bowled round his legs for 9. Clowne struggled for another breakthrough until Matthew Parker (5-0-24-1) on debut got the wicket of Burnyeat caught well by Doughty for 62. This brought Oldfield(89) to the wicket who along with C Haw(58) put Clowne's bowling to the sword the inexperienced Wood ( 4-0-29-0) and Wright (3-0-39-0) suffering despite bowling a decent line and length, the experience of bowling to good senior batsmen will undoubtly stand them in good stead for future appearances and indeed Wood was particularly unlucky not to have a wicket to his name when Phil Bennett put down a difficult chance at deep mid-on. The return of Ashley (10-2-28-3) and Doughty (101-53-1) stemmed the flow of runs to somewhat and Wingerworth finished on 254-5.

Wingerworth 254 for 5
