DORCHESTER pair Callum Tucker and Mark Pickersgill turned out for England A in a six-wicket defeat against Wales A at Old Trafford.
Mitchell Padmore from Bovington and Michael Chant from Sherborne also featured for England who were bowled all out for just 71 in the first innings.
Neither debutants Tucker or Padmore, or Chant contributed but captain Pickersgill did reach double figures before being run out on a close decision. Wales skipper Steven Bailey was the pick of the bowlers, producing a fine hat-trick.
England's bowling got off to a bright start with Tucker taking a wicket in the second over on his way to figures of 2-10.
Parkstone's Graham Whistler also chipped in with 1-4 but Wales continued scoring runs and in the end reached their target with only four wickets down.
The other came courtesy of a run out.
