Neither team was at full strength the visitors displaying a weakness in this respect more so than the Dannevirke team. Some delay was caused in commencing play, and when stumps were drawn the game was unfinished, although the home team were well in the lead. The matting wicket and the rough outfield hampered the visitors who, taken all round, gave a poor display. Manawatu winning the toss batted, but only compiled 71, while Dannevirke had 73 on for one wicket at the luncheon adjournment. Wilson (57) and Smith (50) played good but not faultless cricket. Hodder was the most successful of the Manawatu bowlers, obtaining 5 for 53. The opening Manawatu batsmen showed better form in their second venture, (31 being up when the third wicket If ell.
