Val continued to time the ball and finally got to 100. Marsh was in fine form with the bat scoring a very quick 34. Cavs finished on 231-2.

With tea all done Skipper Mckee gave the new ball too two debutantes in Matt Kingdom and Robin Liney. Both bowled well with 1 wicket to Robins name in the first 10 overs, very tight bowling with good fielding to back the bowlers up. Marsh was brought on and it paid off with him getting 2 wickets in his first spell.
There was a little fight back from the North Petherton batsman T.Lambert 71 (Dropped 3 times). He was finally dismissed when Matt Kingdom got him to hole out on the boundary, where Josh Mynett took a very good catch.
Finally Marsh got a snick to Toby Stone who kept well in his first game for the Cavs.
