Nick Beard chipped in with 41.

Cumming found some rich form stroking a superb 116 from 89 deliveries, while his opening partner was also in fine touch, scoring 90 from 97.
Callum Thompson secured the double breakthrough, bowling Rutherford first and then defeating Cumming.
Dion Lobb whacked an undefeated 27 from 23 to help his side reach 303 for seven.
Ash Simpson (49) and Anthony Harris (39) got the chase off to a useful beginning but Taieri faded under the pressure.
Rutherford completed a memorable day, picking up four for 21 from 10 overs and Mark Joyce took two for 23.
Kaikorai beat Otago Country by default
Otago Country was forced to default after it was unable to host Kaikorai in Alexandra on Saturday or get a team together to travel to Dunedin for the fixture.
The pitch at Molyneux Park was too damp to host the game and the alternative venue at Dunstan High School was unsuitable.
Under the agreement with Dunedin Cricket Association, Otago Country agreed it would travel to Dunedin to play if was unable to host a game.
"The call was made about 5.30pm on Friday and it was just too late to get guys to change their work commitments so they could leave early enough," Otago Country Cricket Association chairman Malcolm Jones said.
Jones hopes the decision to default will not jeopardise Otago Country's future in the competition.
