Our First have a lot to do to secure "A" status after a second losing draw in successive weekends at Belvoir whose target of 212 was too much despite the best efforts of in-form John Wakeling. It needed Sunil Shrestha (pictured) and Taimoor Tasnim to put in the necessary resistance after the top order's struggles to avoid outright defeat. Ells left holding on with 9 down. Honourable mention for Danny Footitt's "5 fer".
