This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
This return match was drawn, with rain interrupting play on several occasions on the first day. When the teams met at The Oval in June, Northamptonshire won. For the visitors, there were 7 fours in Barker's 86 and 1 five and 4 fours in Baker's 63. In the Surrey first innings Barker and Nice added over 50 runs for the ninth wicket. In the home team's innings, Pool batted low in the order due to an injured hand. Since it became voluntary at the beginning of the season, this was the second instance in the Championship where the follow-on was not enforced.
[Missing One umpire; part fall of wickets.]
