General consensus at the half wy stage Rainford did not have enough and so it proved, on a from a distance a greenish looking wicket which also took turn late, there was only one decent partnerhip 44 between Dotters and Desai however wickets fell at regular points which hindered Rainford's ability to post a larger score, a 10th wicket stand of 19 gave the scoreline a little bit more respectability. Desai top scored with 29 possibly controversially given out, there were doubts the catch and whether there were the required number of fielders within the circle.
Caused a bit of a protest but once the finger is raised you walk no matter what.

Spikey start to Blackpool innings early LBW appeal turned down however the Rainford's stumpers appeal was deemed to be over the top, think he received a warning. Things calmed down a bit after that, early wicket for Rainford but a 56 partnership between Needham and Henshall and one of 36 bwtween Taaffe and Boyne took Blackpool to the brink of victory. Dotters pick of the bowlers for Rainford who quite magnificently started the innings bowling spin.
