Dorset won by an innings and 54 runs on the second day after Berkshire followed on 115 runs behind on first innings. For the winners, Fowler top-scored with 74. For the losers, Metcalfe top-scored with 35 not out. [The
Dorset bowling analysis for the Berkshire second innings has been derived from the averages in Wisden, and the Dorset County Chronicle which do
not include the overs and maidens bowled by Gordon.]
