Division 1

Oxford Downs’ title hopes evaporated in extra-ordinary circumstances as they lost by ten wickets at home to Oxford 2nd.

Oxford are still relegated after finishing one place off the bottom.

Put in to bat, Downs made their way to 180 before being bowled out, Tim Sutton hitting 55 while Brad Sutherland took 3-60 from 15 overs.

Sutherland then smashed 96 not out and James Smith struck 79 not out as Oxford reached 181 without loss.
