Young Bowling Old Lane pace bowler Mubtaba Akhtar - called in to replace Woodlands skipper Pieter Swanepoel - caugh the eye with an opening burst of 3-18 as the Drakes struggled.

Wicketkeeper Max Joyce (31) and Tom Craddock (23no) were the top scorers for the Drakes as Akhtar, Ingram and Ian Philliskirk (2-17) all bowled impresssively.

The Sovereigns made a poor start to their reply as both openers Alex Stead and Adam Patel were dismissed in the first two overs.
