Toby Codd and Dan Wolf advanced the score by forty-two when Codd was out. Wolf and Ansley put on the best partnership of the innings, one short of fifty, when Wolf was the sixth batsman to be out caught. Devon had now reached 143. Jack Thomas lasted four balls breaking the sequence being stumped. Ollie Dawe was out on the stroke of lunch with Devon still one hundred and fifty behind. The batsman reaction to the leg before decision resulted in the captain immediately summoning his side to their dressing room and shutting the door on the world. Devon scored another thirty-four runs post lunch off sixty-one balls. Seventeen was the identical return for the ninth and tenth wickets. Seb Ansley had entered with Devon on ninety-four and he was last out having contributed a vital sixty-eight off eighty-two balls hitting eleven fours and a six just before he was out.
