Lakers resume 1/14.
A first innings win and some second innings bonus points would give Lakers top spot from Oak Flats with only two rounds remaining and both clubs still to have another bye (no points).
Meanwhile, Kookas and The Rail will be desperate to get some match practice and force a result after the day one washout,.
Third-placed Kookas can still finish top two and avoid being a victim of the weather if the semi-finals are affected by rain.
