The game promised much during the day, but with both sides near the relegation zone the draw became the only realistic option in the poor light at 8:30pm. The returning Mark Bater won the toss and put Burnham into bat.

Burnham had a strong opening partnership with Eklis Miah and Shahzad Biag, putting on 80 before the first wicket. An interruption for rain saw Burnham set at 102 runs off 24 overs. This level of run control was due to Jake Seagrave who regularly beat the bat and managed to go for less than four runs an over.

With more stoppages for rain, overs were lost. Burnham’s opener Miah pushed onto a well constructed 94 using his feet well as Burham finished with a flourish to end on 227-4 at their innings. Toby Seagrave picked up two wickets at the death and Chris Curry bowled a tidy spell into the wind.

The Third Team started batting well in there reply with Will Darraugh and Josh Camm scoring quickly, chasing a run rate of just over five runs per over. Darraugh departed on 22 and Benn Kempster (pictured) came to the wicket with his usual swagger and got stuck into the bowling straight away and the achieved run rate moved close to seven.

Camm also departed for 22 and Tom Calder joined Kempster they shared a 50 run partnership. Club captain Kempster passed 600 runs for the season in his innings of 62 before he was caught off the bowling of Qureshi.

Wickets fell at regular intervals and a late flurry between Sanjoy Bassi and captain Bater got the Third Team within 32 runs with four overs to go, but in the impending gloom they had to settle for a draw.
