Rain-shortened day’s play
PA Wellington On a rain-shortened day of play, Wellington reached 83 for one in its first innings yesterday in a Shell Trophy cricket match against Northern Districts at the Basin Reserve. Play finally started at 4 p.m., with the first five hours lost. Play was due to last an extra hour, until 7
p.m., but bad light drove the players off at 6.18 p.m. The delayed start was because of a wet patch at the northern end of the wicket, water having got under the covers. On winning the toss, Northern put Wellington in and the openers, Chris Pickett and Justin Boyle, scored 51 for the first wicket.
