A tired Reed side, following their efforts in the Herts Finals the daybefore, wilted in the field against Cambridgeshire’s Merrick Fuller (74 not out). However the top order responded well with Conrad Wellstead contributing a forceful 21, Andrew Wholley a belligerent 20, while Chris Welding and Matt Bowles calmly accumulated 16 apiece. However, Burwell bowled tidily to keep Reed 38 runs in arrears.
