Only one of the three outstanding second-round ties in the Mewies Solicitors Craven League Cowling Cup managed to beat the weather.

Holders Embsay Seconds entertained Bradley Seconds, who took first knock and it turned out to be a one- man show as Chris Cutter, home from Oxford University, scored a brilliant 107 no out of their total of 145-7.

His innings included four sixes and ten fours and no other batsman reached double figures, but extras added 17.

Zufar Iqbal finished with 2-32 and skipper Simon Holt contained things early on with 1-14 off 11 overs.

Morgan Davies (19) and Iqbal put on 43 for the first wicket and then the latter, who was out for 40, and Nev Allen took the score to 93-2 after 21 overs.

Four more wickets fell, including Allen for 49, in getting the score to 142.

The winning runs were scored in the 34th over as youngster Jack Andrews took 2-17.

This victory sets up a mouth-watering tie with favourites Oakworth Seconds at Shires Lane on Sunday, July 8.
