| Monty Panesar captured two wickets but a makeshift England XI looked on course for defeat against a Chairman's XI. | |
| Panesar, left out of the first two Ashes Tests, struck with his second ball, and despite being hit for 16 in one over, returned to strike again. | |
| The Chairman's XI still coasted to 162-2 from 25 overs in reply to England's 259-8 from their 50 overs. | |
| Alec Stewart, leading the team aged 43, hit 69 from as many balls but his successor Chris Read fell for a duck. | |
| Read was one of several fringe players hoping for a strong showing at Lilac Hill to enhance Test claims, but lasted only five balls before finding mid-on. | |
| Stalwart Stewart, who retired in 2003, launched two sixes and five fours, while another ex-England man, Adam Hollioake, fired four sixes in an unbeaten 38. | |
| Owais Shah made a breezy 22 before he was first to fall in the 13th over. | Owais Shah made a breezy 22 before he was first to fall in the 13th over. |

| Stewart shared 112 with Essex batsman Ravi Bopara, who made 53 from 56 balls, to lead his side to a respectable total from a perilous 59-3. | |
| The Chairman's XI made a fluent start with an opening stand of 82, before Panesar bowled Chris Rogers, who was attempting a reverse sweep. | |
| Highly-rated wicket-keeper/batsman Luke Ronchi battered three sixes and 15 fours in his 89 from 49 balls, but Panesar removed him when he lured him down the wicket and Read executed the stumping. | |
