The three day game between Central Districts and South Africa has ended in a draw.

South Africa set Central Districts 271 to win in two sessions on the final day.

Central got through to 195/8 when play finished with Englefield 53 not out and Mason 5 not out.

The pick of the South Africans was McKenzie who had a good double of 100* and 49*. The other batsman looked pretty settled at the crease but struggled to move on after making good starts.

Englefield had a fine game with 77 and 53 not out while Sinclair played a good knock of 99 in the 1st innings before getting a leading edge back to Boje.

The wickets were shared around with Nel taking three for the match, Terbrugge five, Schwass four and Mason four.
