Paul Rayson also bowled tidily and with Keith Powell searching for his usual fluency Doctors were indebted to Alan Dunkley’s elegant stroke play on both sides of the stumps and to some top class running between the wickets. Dunkley showed that he has now left the “promising young player” class with a polished 56. His first fifty for Doctors ended in a mild anticlimax when he was run out going for a bye to keeper Bruce Carpenter but by then the total was handily placed on 87 from 15 overs with 9 wickets in hand. Just as Powell (27) rediscovered his timing he was out to Chris Gunn but the incoming batsmen John Ogle and Graham Fergusson did not wait to play themselves in and launched a furious assault on the visiting bowlers. Fergusson’s 25 came off 10 balls and was ended just before the innings closed by a top edge off Gunn (2-54) to Carpenter. Ogle (28 not out) was equally punishing and the final score must have looked very far off to Taunton Deane’s weakened batting line up. After a steady start against good line and
