Coming to the crease with his side in trouble at 5-76, Hope-Shackley (127 not out from 112 balls) teamed with teenager Hugo Burdon (87 from 112 balls) to launch a rescue mission that lifted the hosts to 7-287 from their 50 overs.

Burdon again starred to take 3-48 with his leg spin, while Matt Kuhnemann (2-27), Jack Cooper (2-34) and Xavier Bartlett (2-72) also claimed multiple scalps.
