Notes
--> The match was scheduled for two days but extended to three.

ED Perrett was unlucky to be caught when he pulled a delivery from BD Smith which struck the short leg fieldsman BAH Forward in the back and rebounded straight to wicket-keeper AR Hewson
JW Burtt and PR Stewart added 91 for the sixth wicket in the Taranaki first innings
The captains agreed to call the match off when RW Smith was dismissed because there was no chance of an outright result
