His sole wicket of C.H.Parkin which brought the innings to a close was to cost 104 runs in a rather expensive 19 overs as Hendren with 271 and Douglas’s unbeaten 133 put on 323 in 210 minutes.

Although claiming four wickets, he was forced to endure a ninth wicket partnership of 148, before he finally dismissed A.C.Newton, batting at number 10, who scored 117 in 95 minutes.
