Valley won the toss and elected to bat, ending on 2/53, with Brayden Hayes and Jay Kidley both snaring an early wicket each for Redlands.

Extended playing times will be scheduled in an attempt to make up some of the lost time.
Play resumes this weekend at Redlands Tigers Cricket Club, Wellington Point.
