A surprisingly dry morning saw this Division 17 fixture start on time on a pitch offering significant help for bowlers when pitched in the right places.
Pawan Singh bowled a testing opening spell which got the opening breakthrough thanks to an Alfie Atkins catch at point.
16 year old Siraj was hugely unlucky not to grab a wicket in his 7 overs.
Bobby Granger bowled a miserly spell and nabbed a wicket courtesy of a smart reflex catch by Ricci Parnell behind the stumps.
John Nicholls showed great consistency in his spell of 2-10 from 5 overs.
Danny Gillham And Shah Reza took the other wickets in impressive spells with just a couple of drops taking the gloss of Brooks performance in the field.

Brooks reply saw the early loss of Alfie Atkins, but Karnal Kalyan 29* played an attacking game and after the subsequent loss of Shah, Lovelin Mostra took the game by the scruff of the neck and bludgeoned his way to 45* with eight fours and a six.
Overall the game was played in a great spirit by both teams despite the indifferent weather but Brook ran out easy winners by eight wickets with 23 overs to spare
