At tea
Marchmont require 239 to win off 50 overs.
Disappointing beginning and end to the Leith innings as the MCC bowlers were all a little wayward. Will and Davi did well in the middle stint. Maiden 1st XI wickets for Pete and Jay Paul.
Leith Beige 238 all out (47.2) R Mathos 60, T Heinitz 55, W Collier 3-36

Phenomenal end to the match. The final over saw 2 wickets for Leith and 2 suicidal runs to bring home the 20 points for MCC. Fantastic game. Well done to Leith for their part in the game.
Final Over: Score 236 for 7 - D Harper to P Maksimczyk (D Sardesai non-facing batsman)
49.1 - Pushed single to P Maksimczyk to the on side
49.2 - D Sardesai lbw b D Harper - plum LBW, yorker length in front of middle. New batsman: JP Chetty
49.3 - JP Chetty bowled D Harper - Stright, full and very out. New batsman: N Granger
49.4 - Played and missed outside off. No run
49.5 - Dropped single to N Granger - run out attempt missed - only slightly suicidal as noone covering non-striker end!
50 - Dropped single to P Maksimczyk - N Granger so far up wicket as ball bowled, practically safe befor ball is struck. P Maksimczyk charges to the other end and is safe by 1/2 yard as run out throw hits stumps.
Marchmont CC win by 1 wicket
Man of the Match points:
3 - Stuart Macgregor - Another ton to the collection. Completely chanceless and a set up the win.
2 - Will Coller - Tight bowling pulled MCC back into contention after Leith's flying start. Picked up 3 wickets into the bargain.
1 - Davi Sardesai - Another point for another solid bowling performance that, in tandem with Will, resurrected a very poor start for MCC
