HJ Cullen and CR Price added 84 for the fourth wicket in the Ashburton County first innings
Rain prevented any play on the second day and further heavy rain overnight delayed play until 3pm on the third day meaning that Nelson only had to bat for 3 hours to draw the match and retain the Hawke Cup
Nelson had six players away playing for Central Districts
