This return game was drawn. The match at Reading earlier in the month between the teams had been won by Berkshire.
Ingram's 105 not out for the visitors contained 8 fours, 5 threes and 11 twos and lasted 3 hours and 50 minutes. When the ninth wicket fell, he was still 7 runs short of his century. The 3 catches held by Henderson in the Oxfordshire innings were the second highest by a wicket-keeper during the season. For Oxfordshire, Bassett top-scored with 46.
