Carpenter returned in the reply to take 3-38 as Cambridge finished their allotted overs with eight wickets down and well-short of the target.

Matthew Wells took six wickets for the loss of 23 runs in St Ives' famous one-wicket win.

They bowled Histon out for 114 and then Tom McCarthy (24) and Michael Speed (28) produced stubborn innings to get them home with slightly more than two overs to spare.
