It was the first of two occasions that this feat was achieved during the season. Diver scored 52 in thirty minutes with 10 fours. In the Cornwall first innings, when the score was 77-4 wickets, Trevarthen was hit in the stomach and retired hurt. He returned to bat at the fall of the ninth wicket, but failed to score before he was run out.
