Notes
--> Bowling in the Otago XI first innings adds 1 run under
--> GM Turner (1) 100 in 250 minutes with 7 fours and 1 six
--> RJ Verrall retired hurt in the Southland second innings (team had lost 1 wickets) - he returned when the score was 112/8

---

Play resumed 90 minutes late on the second day due to overnight rain saturating the uncovered pitch
Verrall suffered a back injury early in his second innings which forced him to retire hurt but he was able to resume his innings later in the day
This was another Otago Plunket Shield selection trial with 2 players from Southland included in the Otago XI (GD Alabaster and RA Roy)
