The top four in the ECB Premier Division faced each other between Saturday’s showers - and third and fourth got the better of first and second.
Wallasey opener Danny Beaver’s 53, his seventh 50+ score of the summer, had helped the leaders to 86/2 against Ormskirk, but they succumbed for just 121 thanks to 5/32 from Jamie Barnes - including a hat-trick - and 5/40 from Afghan spinner Zahir Shehzad, his sixth five-wicket haul of the season.
As impressive as that is, the hosts’ Sumit Ruikar has twice as many. But even he couldn’t defend that total, as John Armstrong’s 50 sealed a seven-wicket win.
