Notes
--> Bowling in the Nelson first innings adds 5 runs over
--> Bowling in the West Coast (South Island) second innings adds 1 run under

S Wilde and WAC Smith put on 135 for the first wicket in the Nelson first innings
S Wilde and A Newman added 103 for the third wicket in the Nelson first innings
Rain interrupted play during the afternoon on the first day and resulted in stumps being drawn about 5.30pm when the rain returned
Overnight rain meant the pitch was unplayable on the second day so a new pitch was rolled and play began on the fresh pitch at 12 noon
West Coast (South Island) were given 100 minutes to score 184 for the outright win in gloomy conditions with bad light eventually ending the match at 6.10pm
