In a game that is petering out for a draw you may as well fill your boots and Wesley Marshall did just that. Starting the day on 75*, the 25-year-old settled in for the innings and made his way to a double ton. Easterns declared on 341/3 after Marshall got his 200 in 199 balls.
Border got 146 in their second innings with the total still a long distance away.
In other stand out performances around the country, Marcello Piedt, who has had a great season, doubled up being South Westerns top run scorer in the first innings with 86 batting at 8 and then followed that up with 5-52 in North Wests first essay. South Westerns went on to win by 28 runs.
