In this drawn return match, the Northamptonshire declaration set Durham a second innings victory target of 147 runs in 50 minutes. Both teams were leading contenders for the Championship. If either Durham or Northamptonshire won this match, they had the prospect of sharing the Championship alone with Glamorgan. Bad light ended play 15 minutes early. The game between the two teams at South Shields in July had also been drawn. For the home team, there were 6 fours in W H Kingston's 76 and 5 fours in Pool's 61. These two batsmen put on 106 runs for the first wicket in the Northamptonshire second innings, which was the third highest partnership for that wicket during the season. For Durham, Elliot's 71 contained 5 fours. The 69 overs bowled by Butler were the second highest number in a match during the season.
