Notes
--> There was no play on the final day.

The start of the match was delayed until 11.22am on the first day due to the delayed arrival of the Auckland B team on their flight from Nelson
Heavy overnight rain resulted in the pitch used on the first day being unfit so the groundsman started preparing a new pitch but more heavy rain meant the match was abandoned shortly before 1pm on the second day
