It was another beautiful day at Exmouth where the Plymouth players were picked up from the railway station but the roll call revealed Devon to be one short in the critical position of keeper. Exmouth’s Sandy Allen exceptionally kindly agreed to fill the void. Josh Mailling won the toss and batted. Thanks to a maiden county hundred from the captain and sharing a fourth wicket partnership of 133 with Jack Dart Devon reached 229 with the final wicket falling off the first ball of the last over. The only other partnership of any consequence was the thirty-four put on by Mailling and Ben Stein for the sixth wicket. Mailling was out on a personal Nelson having faced one hundred and fifty-two balls and hitting fourteen fours and a six. Dart fell on forty-six batting for ninety-six minutes and Stein scored a sixteen ball twenty-four. Only the twenty-one extras was another score in double figures in a disappointing batting performance. In response Cullen scored his second hundred of the season against Devon and he was ably assisted by Reynolds in an unbroken partnership of 177 for the third wicket. Jamie Stephens took the two wickets that fell in successive balls. The first caught behind and the second caught and bowled.
