Durham compiled a good first innings score. Townsend, a former Oxford blue who has toured Egypt and India with English teams, played a really fine innings, passing the century mark unbeaten. His score included 21 fours and one six.

New Zealand lost five wickets for 41 runs, mainly owing to the fine lefthand fast bowling of Herbert, of Durham University.
