Keaton Critchell (101) and Richard Bell put on 112 for the third wicket, but fell in quick succession, as Louth collapsed to 200 all out, losing their final eight wickets for just 20 runs.

The Louth bowlers chipped away steadily as Nettleham replied with Tom Corden (3 for 26) doing the damage up top, supported by two wickets apiece from Critchell, Tom Ryder and Nic Keast.
