In reply, Slough got off to a bad start losing 3 wickets in the first 5 overs. The two opening bowlers, Josh Megson and Ed Smith both bowled with good pace and agression, but were struggeling with no balls (19).
Slough got back into the game with a good 4 wicket partnerhip of 74 before Ernie had A Bhatti cought by Andrew Sabin for 40.
Slough were then put in the driving seat with a 5th wicjket partnership of 95, thanks to a good innings from O Jmshed (102). Wickets did fall regularly, but with Jmshed still at the crease Slough were favorites. He was then bowled by Josh Megson when only 4 runs were needed to win. Later in the over, after a couple more no balls, Megson had H Bhatti caught at slip for 0.
