Notes
--> There was no play on the final day.
--> The first innings of the match was limited to 100 overs; the total overs for both teams first innings was limited to 200 overs

The start was delayed by rain until 12.00, and rain and bad light then interrupted at 12.20pm for a further 30 minutes.
On the second day bad light stopped play at 12.50pm, and this was followed by rain. Play was then abandoned for the day.
Overnight rain then caused the match to be abandoned without any play possible on the third day.
