James Pike elevated in the order then demolished the Malmesbury bowling with a quick fire 32 in a 60 run partnership with Pinchen to add more impetus to the visiting side.Malmesbury then fought back as a mini collapse unfolded with Bradford losing five quick wickets in 6 overs. Bradford then rallied again with debutant Rory Trevest & Matthew Harrington leading Bradford to the 200 mark with the visitors closing the innings at 207 for 8 a score well below par from where Bradford would have been happy.
