On the first day rain prevented any play before lunch but the weather cleared with play to start at 2.15pm so the toss was made but before play could start the rain returned with a heavy downpour at 3.15pm so at 4pm it was agreed to abandon any chance of play for the day
Play was due to start at 11.30am on the second day but further rain had saturated the pitch which the captains inspected at 11.15am and agreed to inspect again at 2pm but at that inspection they agreed to abandon any chance of play that day
The third day dawned brilliantly fine with the match starting at 11.31am
12th Men: WG Rainbird (New Zealand), JG Lush (Sir J Cahn's XI)
