Bousfield 8 x 4, Isherwood 1 x 6 and 17 x 4, Taylor 1 x 6 and 10 x 4; Bateman 6 x 4 in his 72 and 12 x 4 in 120.
Hallas 1 x 6 and 13 x 4.
Herts followed on then left Bucks 'just under an hour to get 138'.
The Bucks score book gives Bateman as 110, and the runs add to this figure! 120 is in Bucks Herald and Herts history.
