Ethane 432 (144.2 overs)
Ethane bat first, and immediately started churning out runs while embarrassing Ko-orenite bowlers again. Hooligan and Chesterman took care of the openers and middle-order, while Marsden tore through the tail-end eventually. Dedicating a few sentences doesn't do the first innings justice: Ethane was at the crease for 144 overs, and we're back to the Green and Blue's old problems - taking so, so long to take those first wickets. In the end, Marsden's stat line looks amazing, but it doesn't fully represent just for how long the Ethane batsmen effortlessly kept Hooligan and Chesterman at bay, while scoring runs against yMharin and Treadway.

Ko-oren 291 (84.4 overs)
This match started out a bit rainy, and it wasn't until the very end of day two that Ko-oren started scoring some runs of their own. The largest let-down was yRheighewn's out on him attempting a boundary on his first ball and promptly going out at point. Before this, yFhireath was completely surprised at the lack of bounce on the ball, and a good length ball that should have been pushed away at off struck him in the pads. Doyle had some initial trouble with the soft pitch, but established himself properly and a spinner took him out in the end, completely overestimating the ball's line, keeping his bat in front of off stump while the ball jumped inside instead. Baldry and Treadway chipped away at Ethane's lead, then Meredith provided a second out in a single over to give the momentum straight back to Ethane. yMharyn and very decently batting bowlers then set the Ko-orenite score to 291, and more importantly, avoided the follow-on (and then some). While the lead look insurmountable, there was a very decent opportunity at a draw now, at the end of day three but with good weather incoming. The question was exactly how much time Ethane would give itself to build up its lead again and how much time they thought it would take to get Ko-oren out a second time.

Ethane 210/4d (75.2 overs)
The answer to the above question is 'about a full day'. On a drying pitch, Ethane took it more slowly, carefully, but also making sure that the run rate didn't drop too much. Eventually, after the fourth wicket, the captain decided to call it a day, give Ko-oren a few overs at the end of day 4 and then have all day to take 10 wickets. There is little to remark about the Green and Blue bowling, other than that Hooligan massively improved over his earlier bowling, while Chesterman still struggled. Marsden was extremely economical in giving away runs, though the allrounders were still slapped around the ground a good bit.

Ko-oren 244/3 (84.3 overs)
It was now a question of getting through the day. Ethane scored 642 runs, and Ko-oren had just under half that at 291 from the first innings. It was decided early on that 351 would be a too ambitious goal and the batsmen were instructed to simply take their time, play it safe, and go for the draw. Stevenson, finally allowing himself some time, flourished with 117 runs and a not out. yFhireath took the advice too late, and was bowled, middle stump, holding his bat slightly too high and the yorker crept right underneath. yRheighewn entirely judged a ball completely wrong and followed almost immediately after. Both had made a bit of a scene upon being dismissed, taking to heart the timewasting advice. Marsden was to report to the umpire, though no action followed - at least, further dismissals were carried out in a matter of seconds. Doyle made it through most of his innings quite well, but failed to see it through until the end. Baldry did, however, together with Stevenson. Not a win, but still a very welcome result: Ko-oren drew the match with no hope of ever overcoming the 642 runs set by Ethane. Miraculously, Ethane failed to bowl an extra all innings!
Ko-oren now has a 1-0 lead in the series. A win or a draw in the final match gives Ko-oren a place in the final, a loss means Ethane evens up the series 1-1. Tournament regulations state that the team that finished higher in the season will take precedence and that would see Ethane take the final berth.
