EVERSLEY moved up into third after they produced a strong display against Cookham Dean in Thames Valley Division One.
Cookham decided to open the batting and Eversley were rewarded with a wicket with the first ball of the game when Ollie Parsons bowled out Shahzad Asghar for a golden duck.
Khan found the boundary in over four, and two overs later Isbell was out, caught Magowan bowled by Parsons for seven with Cookham on 11-2.
Noah Vojinov, Eversley’s overseas player from Australia came on to bowl and reduced the scoring with a mean run-rate to a single.
Lawson and Khan managed two singles each in over 17 which showed 55-3.
The following over, the visitors lost two wickets from the bowling of Vojinov when Zain Khan was stumped by Tom Howorth.
Then he bowled skipper, Greg Davis, for a zero on the fifth ball to make it 59-5.
Vojinov had Mangat given LBW for 17 to take the final wicket of the first innings to end a superb spell from the Australian who took 4-5 as Cookham ended with 103.

Maxfield joined Nicholls and dispatched Le Fleming for two boundaries in successive balls. Le Fleming bowled another varied over allowing 13 runs to go on the scoreboard, including two twos, a no ball with a single, then four leg-byes and another single.

Next to the crease was Sam Kennett who was dismissed in the next over for a zero by Jayalath caught by Davis.
Ben Salter was next man in but Maxfield kept the strike scoring seven, one four, and a single from the last ball of the over.
It was Ben Salter who had the last say and slammed a boundary from Khan to complete the game. Maxfield was not out on 67 and Salter was not out on six to help Eversley to a six wicket victory.
