At Cheltenham, August 11 and 12. Jessop, who was missed by Abercrombie when 23, scored his 54 out of 61 in 22 minutes off 24 balls, and hit two 6 ’s, and seven 4’s. After lunch Newman and Kennedy took the last five wickets for 37. The earlier Hants batsmen fared badly ; but Newman and Jaques could not be parted on Monday night, when the score, with 2 to fall, equalled the home side’s. In the morning it was taken to 196. Brown bowled in his deadliest form when the home side batted again. Brown had Jessop first ball, and took the first seven wickets that fell. Then after batting 50 minutes for 20, Sewell came to the rescue and hit 30 more in 10 minutes. The tenth wicket added 46, Sewell hit nine 4’s. Wanting 126, Hants collapsed, and Gloucestershire won by 28 runs. Sprot’s vigorous 34 and 36 were the top scores in each innings. G l o u c e ste r sh ir e . First Innings. Second Innings.
