Notes
--> RW Fenn achieved his best innings bowling analysis in Minor Counties Championship matches in the Buckinghamshire second innings (previous best was 4-54)

---

Wet conditions delayed the start of the match until 2.55.
Bucks declared as soon as the follow on was avoided. Herts then set Bucks 176 to win in 85 minutes.
With 20 minutes left eight Bucks wickets were down. Tyrwhitt-Drake hit 11 x 4; Isherwood 4 x 4.
