Despite three centuries posted by the two sides, Standard recovered from 13 for three to post 253 and claim a draw with Kenilworth Cricket Club in the Warwickshire Cricket League Division One this weekend.

Thomas Kidd posted 114 and James Searle 113 not out as the pair put on 217 for the side's fourth wicket.

The seven wickets taken came courtesy of Steve Rhodes' 2-61, a run out, and a wicket apiece for Kapil Dubey and Joe Atkinson for Kenilworth.

Skipper Atkinson then led Kenilworth's reply as he hit a superb unbeaten 115, sharing in a third wicket stand of 110 with Sandeep Kumar (46).

However, a few mid order wickets then fell and ended their run chase and the side had to settle for a draw finishing the day on 221-7, 33 runs short of their target.

Phillips took 2-27 and Fox 2-47 for the hosts.

Kenilworth 2nd XI v. Fillongley

Kenilworth claimed a four-wicket victory over Fillongley on Saturday, moving the second XI into second spot in the Warwickshire Cricket League Division Seven East with just four games of the season remaining.

Fillongley had posted 202 from their 49.2 overs, but Kenilworth chased the total down with three overs to spare.

Fillongley 202-10 (6 points) (49.2 overs) lost to Kenilworth 203-6 (20 points) (46.4 overs) by 4 wickets.

The North Warwickshire side's tally was thanks to the number 10 and 11 batsmen who held firm to put on a last wicket stand of 84, as Ali made 34 not out and Tregonning 37. Hammond had earlier made 42 and Gilder 39 for Fillongley.

Dave Gamble took 3-18, Shyaan Imam 3-24 and Ben Clarke 3-39 for Kenilworth.

In reply, Kenilworth reached 203 for six inside 47 overs as Dave Smithson hit 63, Matt Casey 34, Dave Edmunds 24 and Yash Joshi 22 in a solid team performance that gained the win.
