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
