With further scores of 19 from Harry Anstee, 17 from captain Tom Jacques and 16 from Jake Lilley the innings closed on what proved to be a competitive total.

Earl well caught by wicketkeeper Patrick Lewis for a duck. With the introduction into the attack of Pierre Van Wyk (3-42) and Jake Lilley (4-42) wickets fell at regular intervals with only overseas player Emst Knacke looking comfortable and when he was caught by K. Nash for 55 off Lilley the score was 93-5 and after E. Earl (29) was bowled by Van Wyk and A. Freeman was run out for 24 and the Fawley innings closed on 169.
