CCS Home Counties League Division 2 West: Alex Jewell struck his second successive league century, but Bicester were unable to force victory over Burnham at Akeman Steet on Saturday.

Jewell followed up last week's 111 against Aston Rowant with a knock of 103 before he was run out.

Winning the toss, Bicester elected to bat and soon lost Darryl Woods, but Jewell and Gary Sansome then put on 111 for the second wicket before the latter was dismissed for 63.

Jewell was joined by Sam Lyon and the pair continued the good work with a stand of 75 as Bicester totalled 280-8 from their 60 overs.

Burnham set about the target from the start, but after the fall of early wickets, including one to a brilliant catch on the boundary by Jewell, they slowed down and eventually shut up shop for a boring draw, finishing on 180-5.

Bicester were deducted two points for a slow over rate.
