Matt Floyd led Oxford University's challenge on the second day of the four-day Varsirty Match at Fenner's.
Replying to Cambridge's first-innings 296, opener Floyd hit an unbeaten 82 as the Dark Blues replied with 194-5.
There was little to excite the tiny crowd for the match, being played away from Lord's for the first time since 1850, and a draw looks on the cards.
