This match was drawn.
The game between the two teams at Northampton the previous week had been won by Northamptonshire. Batsmen had the upper hand with each wicket averaging 49 runs per dismissal. For the visitors, there were 12 fours, 6 threes and 7 twos in Pool's 116, and 21 fours and 5 twos in Thompson's 112. They put on 170 runs for the second wicket in the Northamptonshire first innings, which was the highest partnership for that wicket during the season. W H Kingston's 52 contained 4 fours. For the home team, there were 9 fours in Henderson's 73 not out, 6
fours in Williams's 60 and 1 six and 5 fours in Worsley's 52. Henderson and Barker put on 71 runs for the ninth wicket, which was the third highest partnership for that wicket during the season. In the Berkshire innings, Collins sustained a split middle finger and took no further part in the match. During the Northamptonshire first innings when he had scored 59 runs, Thompson reached the career milestone of two thousand runs in championship matches. He was the first player to achieve this feat.
[Missing: In Northamptonshire 1st inns duration of Pool's 116 and Thompson's 112; in Northamptonshire 2nd inns fall of 1st and 2nd wickets.]
