The innings closed for l(itS, or 21 runs ahead of the County's first- attempt. Fannin's leg breaks proved too much for the batsmen, baffling one after another, and he secured eight out of nine wickets. The County in their second innings quickly wiped off the deficiency, and the score now stands at 229 runs for seven wickets. Nelson was again responsible for a big score, and completely mastered the bowling. His score of 107 (not not), although not entirely free from mistakes. was an excellent exhibition.
