Auckland needs 2 wickets
PA Auckland Auckland needs only two more Otago wickets today to take first innings points and win the national second XI cricket final at Birkenhead. In a day restricted by rain to 135 minutes, Otago continued from its overnight score of 45 for four to be 154 for eight in reply to Auckland’s 221.
A fighting, unbeaten ninthwicket partnership between John Mawhinney and John Lindsay has kept Otago's hopes alive. Earlier John O’Connor had ripped the Otago batting apart.
Scores: Auckland 221, Otago 154/8 (S. Harrop 23, A. Bligh 24. J. Mawhinney 30 not out, J. Lindsay 23 not out; J. O’Connor 5/34, S. Tracy 2/49).
