Brandon Purcell cracked an unbeaten ton in Castor’s 204-6.

Fifteen year-old leg spinner Karanapal Singh returned his best first-team figures of 5-29 for Peterborough Town, but the city side still went down by 51 runs at Grantham, while Ben Chapman (5-36) also bowled well for March in vain at Oundle.

The home side won that game by 14 runs with Liam Fresen taking 4-39.
