WINSCOMBE seconds entertained Taunton St Andrews and were asked to bat first after losing the toss.

The start was slow, but openers of Searle and Fraser made steady progress before Fraser was out. Reeves maintained the momentum before Searle fell, with Bailey perishing early, Winscombe looked in trouble.

Reeves and Bawden put together a stand before Bawden was bowled for 36, prompting a swift collapse with Reeves being stranded on 47 not out with Winscombe collapsing to 145 all out.
