The Cambridgeshire first innings lasted for just 65 minutes and Trudgett had the extraordinary bowling analysis of 9 wickets for 14 runs. It was statistically the best innings bowling performance of the season. He did not take a wicket in the Cambridgeshire second innings. For the winners, there was 1 five and 13 fours in Quaife’s 93, 8 fours in Lake’s 59, and 1 five and 5 fours in Newton’s 50. In the Suffolk innings, Ra ynor and Lake added 78 runs for the seventh wicket. For the losers, Thomas’s 47 was the top score. There were seven changes in the Cambridgeshire team compared with their previous match against Dorset at Poole at the beginning of the month. When he had scored 5 in the Cambridgeshire second innings, Swann-Mason reached the career milestone of one thousand runs in championship matches. The margin of victory was the largest during the season.
