(Miller not out, Simmons not out). Both Woods played for England. They are separately identified in the batting but no source identifies which was involved in the dismissals. They are attributed to Wood of Surrey, who generally bowled with much more success than Wood of Kent, and was the better-known player. Hampshire had Yalden as a given man.
