When Taranaki were 10 for no wicket in their first innings, Wynyard was struck in the mouth when a ball from Gill bounced awkwardly forcing him to leave the field with Testro replacing him as wicket-keeper
Wynyard returned to the field when Taranaki were 36 for 4 in their first innings but Testro remained as wicket-keeper
Testro continued as the wicket-keeper in the Taranaki second innings
This was the first first-class game played by Taranaki
