4 Day Varsity: Cambridge Fight on Day 2

Wednesday 07 July 2010

The Blues began the recovery from a disastrous first day at the Parks with a solid performance on day 2, but still need another 270 in their first innings to avoid the follow-on.

Oxford finally declared their innings shortly before lunch on 611-5, Taylor taking four wickets to end with creditable figures. The reply began well with Timms (36) and Hughes (74) putting on a century for the first wicket, but a brace of wickets falling to the leg-spin of Scott (3-48) left the Blues still in some trouble at 191-4.

Cambridge need a further 270 runs to secure a draw by avoiding the follow-on.
