Robins took six wickets for 89 runs. The Rest of England made 389 in their second innings and won by eight runs.

Nottingham seemed certain to wm when the veteran Gunn and his son were batting splendidly. The former was bowled of! his pads. Nineteen runs were required when the last batsman came in, but Woolley accepted a wonderful catch in the slips before the runs could be made.
