Notes
--> Day 1 Lunch: Southland (1) 64/8 (Glozier 15*)
--> Day 1 Tea: Wellington (1) 96/8 (Hughes ?*, Aldersley 4*)
--> Day 2 Lunch: Southland (2) ?/1 (Glozier ?*, Groves ?*)
--> Southland first innings: 50 in 75 minutes
--> Wellington first innings: 50 in 51 minutes
--> Wellington first innings: 100 in 94 minutes
--> M Henderson completed a hat-trick in the Southland first innings (EJ Kavanagh, JA Hamilton, SEV Brown)
--> A Walsh retired hurt in the Southland first innings having scored 1 (team score 24/1) - he returned when the score was 36/2

Walsh was struck on the hand by a delivery which forced him to retire for treatment
A successful appeal against the light ended play 20 minutes before the scheduled stumps on the first day
On the second day play resumed at 11.30am but after 1 over had been bowled heavy rain forced the players from the field with no further play possible before lunch
Play resumed at 2pm but after another hour at the fall of the third wicket the heavy rain returned and the match had to be abandoned
The pitch used for the match was not up to standard with some deliveries rising viciously and others shooting along the ground
