Morning: No play possible due to rain.
Afternoon: Resuming on 14-0 after an early lunch, Adam Finch managed to find the boundary before departing LBW to Jake Ball for 17. Jake Libby survived an early scare as he was dropped at third slip, and had to play watchfully against the threatening Ball, but was able to bring up his half-century under louring skies over the course of the session as the Pears went in to tea - and, as it transpired, finished the day - on 107-1.
Evening: No play possible due to bad light.
