Third Team Frustrated At Wraysbury

With the loss of prolific run scorer Benn Kempster for single figures, Harvey Graham (pictured) stood up and scored a scintillating 103 not out. He was well supported at the other end by Ed Pike who scored 42 as the Third team finished with a competitive 248-8 from their 52 overs.

In reply Wraysbury came out swinging, taking the attack to the new ball pairing of Jake Seagrave and Nick Grant. However, their aggressive approach saw the home side lose regular wickets, and with the likelihood of Wraysbury winning the game quickly slipping away, they began to bat for the draw with almost 20 overs remaining. Spinners Sanjoy Bassi and Ed Pike bowled well, putting pressure on the defiant Wraysbury batsman.

The second team were left needing just one wicket from the final five overs, and despite some close chances the Wraysbury batsman survived to bat out the draw. Grant finished with four wickets and Pike with three, whilst Miles Doe was impressive behind the stumps.
