This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
This return match was drawn with rain limiting play on the first day to 1 hour and 50 minutes.
Conditions were wet on the first day which hampered the fielding side.
Heavy rain at 3.00 pm on the first day flooded the pitch and led to play being abandoned for the day.
Norfolk had won the encounter between the two sides at the Elstow School ground by six wickets in July.
For Norfolk, there were 5 sixes, and 18 fours in Falcon's 155, an innings of one hour and 40 minutes.
Stevens's 58 included 9 fours, and Popham's 50 contained 4 fours.
In the Norfolk first innings Falcon and Popham added 197 runs for the first wicket.
For Bedfordshire there were 3fours in Morcom's 42.
It was reported that King was taken ill and on the second day of
the Norfolk first innings Gibson fielded as his substitute.
Still not fully well King batted lower down the order at tenth place by which time the follow on had been saved.
[Missing: In Norfolk first innings twos and threes in Falcon's 155; in Norfolk second innings extras breakdown; in Bedfordshire innings fall of eighth and ninth wickets.]
