Dumfries opted to bat and as in the previous fixture at West Lothian the top order went cheaply with Van Wyk (C) taking two wickets. At 23 for 3, with the top run scorers for the season Corbett-Byers and Geary already gone, Bellwood came out to join Alan Davidson.
They took the innings past the twenty over mark and to a score of 66 when Davidson fell to another LBW for 22.
