As the Exiles arrived at Chiswick the heavens opened soaking everyone. However, after a short delay, the cricket was underway, British Library being invited to bat. The Library made a good start against some inaccurate bowling, putting on over 50 for the first wicket. Gwyn Thomas rescued the Exiles by taking 5 for 24 with his medium pace away swingers to wreck the Library innings. British Library closed on 122 all out, which included an annoying last wicket stand of 15, which almost cost the Exiles dear. Matt Cook made a promising debut, taking 2 for 9.
