MINOR COUNTIES: Cambs on the rack thanks to Cawkwell

After losing their final five wickets for just 37 and thus surrendering a first innings lead of 13, Cambs toiled away for 95 overs as Suffolk piled up 317-8 in their second innings.

Peterborough Town paceman Joe Dawborn did claim two early wickets, but 143 from Jed Cawkwell and 97 from Tom Huggins delivered a dominant position for Suffolk ahead of the final day’s play (July 5).

Town all-rounder, and Cambs skipper, Lewis Bruce, and Wisbech seamer Sam Rippington bowled well in Suffolk’s first innings of 150, taking nine wickets between them.

Scores: Suffolk 150 (B. Parker 31, J. Cantrell 30, J. Corkwell 29, L. Bruce 5-52, S. Rippington 4-22) & 317-8 (J. Corkwell 143, T. Huggins 97, B. Seabrook 2-25, J. Dawborn 2-54).
