The South Africans responded in their first-innings by making a massive 611 all out, during which Fellows bowled 5 wicketless overs, conceding 33 runs. Nottinghamshire replied to that total in their second-innings by making 242 all out, which saw Fellows dismissed for a single run by Bonnor Middleton. The South Africans won by an innings and 49 runs.[2] In his second match, Essex won the toss and elected to bat first, making 317 all out. Nottinghamshire responded in their first-innings by making 552/9 declared, with Fellows ending the innings not out on 18.
