Notes:

• This was DW Townshend's final first-class match; he played a noble role in helping de Caila to avert the follow-on, but had already injured his elbow and had to withdraw from the following match. With the successful return of Traicos, he was not selected again.
• 12th man for Rhodesia was SD Robertson.
• Richards caused great controversy in the Rhodesian second innings by running out Gripper backing up, without a warning.
