Lakers won the toss and elected to bat, a move that looked to have paid small dividends after their top order failed to fire. However, 111 from Shane Cody and a handy 61 from Jamie Crowhurst saw the visitors post 297. Oak Flats are 0/12 in response.
Shellharbour are 4/83 in response to Gerringong’s first innings total of 225 with Will Grant (57) and skipper Manning Berry (46) top-scoring for the hosts. Maddison Smith was Shellharbour’s best with the ball with 4/40 from 9.2 overs with the visitors with Jake Taylor (2/18) doing most damage for Gerringong.
The Rail continued to put the heat on league leaders Kookas after bowling out Kiama for 151 with Mark Damoiseaux (4/44) and Rohit Sharma’s (3/30 off nine overs) ripping through the visitors in 43 overs. The Rail are 5/130 in response.
