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 without any decision on first innings.
Rain prevented any play on the first day, stopped play for 20 minutes in the Bedfordshire innings when the score was 79 for 6 wickets, and finally ended play early at 5.10 pm, with the match being abandoned shortly before 5.30 pm.
The game between the two teams at Bedford in June had also been drawn.
For the home team, there were 8 fours in Marshall's 54.
For Bedfordshire, Rice's 51 for Bedfordshire contained 6 fours.
