Nottinghamshire 2nd XI won this return match by an innings and 15 runs on the second day. The match betweent the two sides at Bollington earlier in the month had also been won by Nottinghamshire 2nd XI. Rain delayed the start on the first day by an hour. A feature of the match was the first wicket partnership of 275 runs for Nottinghamshire 2nd XI between Carr and James, which was a new record for the Championship. James's 172, scored in 2 hours and 40 minutes, contained 1 five and 28 fours, while Carr's 102 not out included 10 fours in an innings of 2 hours and 50 minutes. For Cheshire Fallows's 60 included 3 fours. An 'R Smith' was down to play for Cheshire in this match, but he did not arrive and the Nottinghamshire captain agreed to Greenhalgh replacing him for the second day.
