Mitchell played a chanceless innings, which lasted for 190 minutes. He hit 14 fours.

Rowan was on the defensive for 208 minutes and did not hit a boundary.

The howlers were in command after tea when, despite the poor light, the batsmen continued, apparently under instructions not to appeal. Details:—
