Sueter was the first to score two separate fifties in a ‘great’ match. In Mann (2), Small, Clifford, Miller and Hodges were the men out at the end of day 3. Batting orders are from Epps. (Variant) KG gives different orders, viz: Dorset - Tankerville, Stevens, Bullen, Bowra, Bedster, Yalden, Sueter, Pattenden, Boorman, Stanford, Mann; Mann - Aylward, Miller, Clifford, Hodges, Small, Lamborn, Rimmington, Webb, Hogben, Pattenden, Martin. These are less satisfactory as regards the first innings; they may be second-innings orders but this is unclear so they have not been incorporated into the score. 85
