Another poor result against one of the newly promoted sides. Our bowling lacked control in both innings, and despite a decent first effort with the bat, we lost regular wickets in the second innings and were bowled out going for the win.

Yet another heavy defeat and we're looking in real trouble in the Championship. Whilst our batting has improved on paper, we are really missing the trio of Barker, Abbott, and Abbas and struggling massively with the ball.
