Notes
--> Southland first innings: 50 in 70 minutes
--> Southland first innings: 100 in 115 minutes

Rain leading up to the match which was scheduled to be played at the Showgrounds meant that ground was unplayable so the match was moved to a concrete pitch on Biggar Street Reserve
The start of the match was delayed until 2.30pm on the first day due to a heavy shower of rain
