This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
Wiltshire won by 9 wickets at ? pm on the second day. For the winners, there were 6 fours in Stevens's 65. Sandford's 96 for Devon contained 1 six and 9 fours. In the home team's first innings, Sandford and Light put on 106 runs for the third wicket, which was the third highest partnership for that wicket during the season. Because of heavy rain at the start of the week, the prepared wicket was damp. Another was cut and Miller, the Wiltshire captain, was given choice of pitch.
