At the end of a rain affected day-one  the home side had scored a meagre twenty runs for the loss of four  wickets. They went on to score a total of sixty runs before they were  bowled out. After a short break the teams took to the field for  Northamptonshire&#8217;s first innings. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">The Times<\/span> newspaper report of 12th June detailed what happened next:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In  the course of 40 minutes [&#8230;] Northamptonshire were got out by  [Edward] Dennett [pictured] and Mr. [Gilbert] Jessop for 12 runs. The  ground, of course, greatly favoured the bowlers; but no men could have  used the opportunity better than this pair did. While Mr. Jessop kept a  perfect length and so kept the runs down, Dennett got rid of his  opponents in startling fashion. Before a wicket fell six were scored  from him, but afterwards only three more were hit off his bowling, while  he claimed eight wickets.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jessop took the remaining two  wickets. Gloucestershire scored 88 in their second innings, and  Northamptonshire reached 40 for 7 at the end of the second day&#8217;s play,  with Dennett taking all the wickets with only twelve runs scored off his  bowling. The weather prevented any play on day-three so this historical  match ended in a draw.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/cricketarchive.com\/Archive\/Scorecards\/7\/7289.html\">scorecard<\/a> for this match is available at CricketArchive.com.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 11th June 1907, Gloucestershire resumed batting on the second day of their English County Cricket Championship match against Northamptonshire at the Spa Ground in Gloucester.
