The Wakefield Road men, victorious at home to Cleckheaton on Saturday, have climbed to fifth in the Premier after losing their opening two games.

Their top five batsmen produced a solid effort, led by Alex Stead (40), Baxter (43) and Suleman Khan (47), to help post a score of 224-9.

Spinners Daanyaal Ahmed, Suleman Khan and Chris Greenwood each took two wickets when Woodlands replied. The hosts, beaten only once previously this season, slumped to 78-7 before trying to rally.

However, Yassar Abbas returned to end the resistance and complete a 4-32 haul.
