The Suffolk opened their ie cautiously, but some tempting bowling from Anstice caused Welch to twice attempt to open out. On both occasions he should have been out, once at mid-on off Anstice and the second time in the slips off Rawsthorne. Play became more careful than ever after this and the rate of scoring was extremely slow. It was not until
and Mid. Wilson had taken his place Welch been bowled by Jenkins at the wicket, that runs came faster. Wilson apparently took some extraordinary risks and was very lucky to survive an easy catch when he was y eleven.
dering the time however, and t that only two wickets had fallen, he was perfectly justified in his attempt (an almost impossible one) to go out for a win before stumps were drawn at 6 pin. The Club varied their attack with fairly good success and the Navy innings finally came to a close having only lost six wickets but 65 runs in arrears, Wilson deservedly reached his fifty while none of the Club bowlers were outstanding on the day's play.
