Notes
--> J Stoggell made his debut in Minor Counties Championship matches
--> AG Warrington (1) passed his previous highest score of 65 in Minor Counties Championship matches
--> RE Bond (2) passed his previous highest score of 15 in Minor Counties Championship matches
--> RF Howlett (2) passed his previous highest score of 34 in Minor Counties Championship matches
--> J Stoggell achieved his first five wickets in an innings in Minor Counties Championship matches in the Buckinghamshire first innings
--> CR Layne reached 50 wickets in Minor Counties Championship matches when taking his 1st wicket in the Buckinghamshire second innings
Suffolk, left two hours to score 159, made a good attempt; had the sun not caused a catch to be dropped
Bucks would have had 20 minutes to capture the last Suffolk wicket. Warrington hit 6 x 4 in his 81.
