    • Played on the occasion of WG Grace's 50th birthday (July 18, 1898)
    • 12th man for the Players was W Rhodes, who also fielded as a substitute for the Gentlemen

      Day 3

    • With confusion over the time of stumps most thought that Kortright and Grace had saved the match when 6:30 pm was reached with the Gentlemen at 130/9. Play however was scheduled to continue for a further 30 minutes.
    • The last wicket fell with less than 5 minutes remaining for play.
