Play continued beyond 6.00 pm, the time set for the close on the first day, as Lincolnshire had only two wickets remaining. For the winners, Morris took 11 wickets in the match for 61 runs, including 6 for 10 in the Lincolnshire first innings. Stoner’s 77 included 9 fours. Heavy rain for three hours e arly on the morning of the first day was blamed for making the wicket very difficult for the batsmen. Thompson top-scored for Lincolnshire with 30 not out in their second innings. [For the Durham innings, the Durham scorebook gives Cumberlege c Hedworth, whereas all other sources, including match accounts, give caught Hibbert and this version has been preferred.] [Missing: In Lincolnshire first innings who held substitute catch.] Sources: Durham Scorebook; Newcastle Daily Journal 23 July; Northern Echo 23 July; Grantham Journal 27 July; The Sportsman 23 July.
