A poor batting display means Oxford University are on the back foot going into day three of the Varsity Match at Fenner’s.
They dismissed Cambridge for 280, but then crashed to 138 all out as medium-pacer Tom Probert claimed 4-20.
It left them 142 in arrears, but they gave themselves hope by hitting back in Cambridge’s second innings.
Seamer Paul Higham bagged three of the first four wickets to go down as the Light Blues slumped to 34-4 before finishing on 58-5, a lead of 200 with two days left.
