Lewis Swain top scored with three before being run out – his runs mirroring the three wides and three no-balls Paultons bowled.

Tom Cottrell joined the list of duck makers when he was bowled for nought at the start of Paultons’ reply.

But Laurence Frampton hit by far the day’s highest individual score of 10 not out to clinch a nine-wicket victory for the hosts.

It took Paultons just 14 balls to knock off the runs.

It was bottom-of-the-table North Stoneham & Eastleigh’s third successive defeat, though they did make a heady 165-9 in their previous game against IBM Hursley.
