WILTSHIRE bounced back on day two of their Minor Counties Championship game against Cornwall at Trowbridge, writes CRAIG LYUS.
They had been dismissed for only 251 in their first innings and in reply the visitors stood handily on 103-2 off only 27 overs.
But some fine bowling by Corsham all-rounder Richard Foley, playing his first Minor Counties after an absence of seven years, and Chippenham's Richard Bates, turned the match for the hosts.
Foley followed-up his knock of 36 and vital 98-run partnership with Michael Coles with 4-52 and Bates weighed in with 3-60 as a cluster of Cornish wickets fell either side of lunch.
The visitors were eventually dismissed for 231 after 69 overs, giving their Wiltshire hosts a slender 20-run lead.
Wiltshire closed on 202-5 with Steve Perrin hitting a half-century off 43 balls.
Perrin was 57 not out, after a useful sixth-wicket partnership with Foley, while Ollie Smith chipped in with 58.
