The Hertfordshire score of 439 was the third highest innings of the Championship season. For Hertfordshire, there were 12 fours in Hill's 84, 7 fours in Golding's 72, and 8 fours in Coleman's 63 not out. In the Hertfordshire innings, Golding and Hill put on 137 runs for the sixth wicket, which was the highest partnership for that wicket during the season, and Highley and Coleman 67 for the eighth wicket, which was the second highest for that wicket. For the visitors, Pollitt's 77 included 1 five and 9 fours, Thring's 63 contained 7 fours, and Taylor's 60 included 5 fours.
