Notes
--> The match was scheduled for three days but completed in two.
--> Bowling in the Marylebone Cricket Club first innings adds 2 runs under
--> Bowling in the Sussex first innings adds 11 runs under
--> JG Paine made his debut in First-Class matches
--> JP Pollitt made his last appearance in First-Class matches
--> GG Brown (1) passed his previous highest score of 56 in First-Class matches
In another version there are 6 extras in MCC first innings, this agrees with the bowling, but the batting does not then add up. The bowling analysis in the Sussex innins at the end of the first day was: Nixon 34-12-48-3; Grundy 30-11-47-2 Royston 10.1-3-15-1.
