There was no play in the second day due to rain. Bell's Life says the match was postponed to a future day owing to unfavourable weather, but it seems likely the match did take place on the given date. The O.U.C.C. history states Wordsworth conceded 25 runs, but as no bowling analyses were recorded it is not known how this figure could be given. This is the first recorded match between Oxford University and Cambridge University
