The going was slow but steady amid tight bowling from the Luton Town Indian seamers. Ben Woodcock was run out by a brilliant effort from Raza. Navin soldiered on with Shiv Patel, both although tentative in the beginning then got their eye in and steadied the boat with patient but brutal innings with a flurry of boundaries to finish on 50 retired not out. Bedford ended their innings on 136.
Luton got off to a brilliant start and were on 81 after nine overs. Ashil Shah and Dhruv Patel creamed off boundaries amid some loose bowling. The spinners came on and completely changed the course. Dove with his legspin ended on 2 for 35, Patel with his off spin finished with 4 for 12.In the end, Luton were short and finished on 130.
