This return match was won by Durham by 260 runs on the second day. The match between the two sides at Norwich in June had also been won by Durham. For the winners, Morris took 10 wickets in the match for 152 runs, bringing this season's total against Norfolk to 24-216. There were 6 sixes and 15 fours in Bradford's 130, scored in 2 hours, and 4 sixes and 13 fours in Harrison's 104, an innings of 1½ hours. There were 1 six and 17 fours in Ashley's 85, 1 six and 15 fours in Burgoyne-Johnson's 79 not out, and 1 five and 10 fours in Dales's 74. Burgoyne-Johnson is reported as having reached his fifty in just 15 minutes. In the Durham first innings, Turnbull and Burgoyne-Johnson put on 107 runs for the seventh wicket and, in the second innings, Bradford and Ashley added 171 runs for the fourth wicket. For Norfolk, Stevens's 78 included 1 six and 11 fours and Wakefield's 63 contained 1 six, 1 five and 11 fours. In the Norfolk first innings Wakefield and Gibson added 79 runs for the eighth wicket. 551 runs were scored on the first day. Pilch was unable to field in Durham's second innings due to an attack of rheumatism which also prevented him batting in Norfolk's second innings. A footnote to the match mentioned that the Norfolk scorer was retiring after 26 years service. The match run aggregate was 1,060. This was the first use of this ground for a Championship match.
