A to M had Taylor as a given man; N to Z had Aylward as a given man. Fennex played for N to Z because his name was understood to be a corruption of ‘Phœnix’. The score is largely taken from the General Advertiser , which gives the fullest account but only to the end of the second day; details for day 3 are taken from other sources. In A to M (2), Booker, Bullen and Brazier were the men out at the end of day 2; the remainder of the batting order is not known. 112
