On the second day, the Suffolk declaration left Norfolk needing 87 runs to avoid the innings defeat with 1½ hours remaining for play. Rain delayed the start on the first day until 12.10 pm and limited play to just 15 minutes, and at 2.30 pm the match was abandoned for the day. For Suffolk, there were 9 fours in H L Wilson’s 84 and 5 fours in Quaife’s 78. In the Suffolk innings, Quaife and H L Wilson added 135 runs for the third wicket. For Norfolk, there were 7 fours in Dunell’s 53. The match between the two teams at Ipswich in June had been won by Norfolk.
