This match was drawn after Hertfordshire enforced the follow-on. For Hertfordshire, there were 9 fours in Escombe's 74, scored in 55 minutes, and 5 fours in White's 60, an innings of 2 hours. In the Hertfordshire innings, Deedes and Escombe added 106 for the ninth wicket, which was the highest partnership for that wicket during the season. Gresson's 63 for
Buckinghamshire included ? fours and P J de Paravicini's 57 contained ? fours. The 4 catches held by P C F de Paravicini during the Hertfordshire innings were the most by a wicket-keeper during the season, and equalled the Championship record achieved on 9 previous occasions. The 4 catches were also the most in a match during the season, a feat equalled by three others. The 5 dismissals in an innings were also the most by a wicket-keeper during the season. The match aggregate of 839 runs was the second highest of the season. Gregory bowled "fast underarm all along the ground" which caused some comment amongst the spectators.
[Missing: Umpires; part fall of wickets; in Hertfordshire innings who bowled 3 no balls; in Buckinghamshire first innings boundaries in P J de Paravicini's 57; in Buckinghamshire second innings boundaries in Gresson's 63.]
