Notes
--> Day 1 Lunch: Hawke's Bay (1) 112/4 (Fisher 5*, Bird 3*)
--> Hawke's Bay first innings: 100 in 96 minutes

Overnight rain delayed the start of play on the second day until 2pm
Poverty Bay were given 120 minutes to score 132 to win the match outright but rain stopped play after 40 minutes
Poverty Bay regained the Kirk Cup due to their first innings lead after Hawke's Bay had held it for the previous 7 years
