Elliot Bradley was caught behind by Wilson without addition to notch up the seventh duck of the innings. Bulcock claimed the final wicket when he had Gildea caught behind by Wilson for 11 from 61 balls. Chris Brooker-Carey finished unbeaten on 0 meaning eight Nelson players had failed to score. Fourteen of the 35 runs were extras when the innings ended after 28.1 overs.
