Skinner in catching Brooke in the home team’s first innings, split his right hand which needed several stitches. He batted last in the visitors’ second innings, but was able to field and bowl with some success in the Lincolnshire second innings. In the Northumberland second innings, F S Cannell fielded as substitute for Wells-Cole and was responsible for running out Marshall.
