The hosts were batting first, but could only progress to 95 for 2 in their first innings, thanks to a series of frustrating rain delays. Just 33 overs were possible.

Maltby Academy is dropping music from the secondary school curriculum.
The school says not enough people signed up to the subject.
Now more than 500 people have joined a Facebook group campaigning for the decision to be overturned.
Poppy Rigby and Ellise Wright are students at the school....
Maltby Academy have developed a Creative and Performing Arts experience - which music is a part of - but they say much to their disappointment... GCSE Music has seen a steady decline in student interest and take up over a number of years.
No students opted to study GCSE Music in the one-year option in Y11.

British Transport Police in Sheffield say they've attended several "near misses" between children and trains in the last few weeks.
Officers say children breaking through fences in parts of the city is a growing problem...and they've written to local schools to try and deter them.
PCSO Tony Belinski has seen serious injuries as a result most recently in Dronfield.
A BBC Yorkshire investigation has discovered 89 dairy farms have closed in the region since 2013.
There are 1,000 fewer dairy farms than there were three years ago across England and Wales - according to data from Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board.
That means that 1 in 10 farms have closed since 2013.
Farmers blame the declining price they are paid per litre of milk.
