For the second successive match, Aston Rowant’s last pair were left hanging on for a draw in their Division 2 West match at Beaconsfield on Saturday.

Chasing a victory target of 198, Rowant were well placed at 105-2, but then slumped badly to 149-9 at the close.

Beaconsfield were all out in the 60th over for 197, with teenager Jeremy Suter scoring a half-century.

Chris Davis took 3-30 for Rowant and skipper Wesley Morrick 3-59.

Rowant were restricted to less than two runs an over during the first 15 overs, before Tim Miles (47) came up the order to attempt to speed up the scoring.

He and opener Tim Morgan began to put their team in the ascendancy.

However, the loss of two wickets in two balls followed by the run out of Morrick following a mix-up, in the space of five overs, put Bexconsfield back on top.

Morgan (47) remained resistant until he was eventually the ninth wicket to fall.

The final pair of Ryan Dutton and Davis held out to secure a draw for the last four overs.
