The team of Jordin Last-Harris (c), Kieran Gill, Hugo Abdat, Matthew Campbell, Alex Gordon, Oli Smith, Alex Pringle, Max Hart, Max Culleton, Charlie Fergusson, Hadley James, and Nic Donnelly caught the first flight of the day to Auckland to allow plenty of time for play to start at 10:30. Losing the toss is never a good thing, but Grammars decision to bat first allowed us to do what we would have elected to do anyway - bowl.

With big boundaries and a slow outfield, scoring was slowbut, our bowlers struggled to be consistent with the places they were putting the ball. Never-the-less we kept chipping away and dismissed Grammar in the 87th over for 203. A Pringle continued his form with the ball taking 5/62.

In response, our batters worked hard after a day in the field, but losing a wicket of the last ball of the day was a setback. At stumps we are 30/2.
