Notes
--> Bowling in the Combined Services second innings adds 5 runs under
--> Marlborough first innings: 50 in 95 balls, 63 minutes
--> Marlborough first innings: 100 in 197 balls, 117 minutes
--> Marlborough first innings: 150 in 278 balls, 165 minutes
--> Marlborough first innings: 200 in 333 balls, 201 minutes
AJ Marfell and JJ Cunliffe added 156 in 208 balls, 119 minutes for the third wicket in the Marlborough first innings
In the Combined Services second innings the scorer had incorrectly shown a progress tally of Williams' runs as 70 instead of 68 meaning the later tallies were incorrectly shown as 84 and 97 instead of 82 and 95 so when Williams scored 2 twos off consecutive balls in the third to last over it was apparently believed that he had reached his century. Although he faced a further 12 balls in the innings, he was obviously intent on defence to prevent losing the match outright so it appears that the scorer added another run on after the game had finished to "give" Williams his century but that run was not added to any bowler. Also in that innings, Wixon's score was shown as 5 when he was dismissed with the fall of wicket being shown as 191 but Wixon's score was changed to 9 and the fall of wicket changed to 195 with a 4 being added after the 5 singles that Wixon scored. There were only 3 dot balls in Wixon's innings so it is uncertain whether the scorer missed the fact that one of those deliveries was hit for 4 or whether Wixon told them he had hit one 4 so they simply added a 4 to his score but did not add those 4 runs to any bowler.
