Shaan Khan hit 42 on Saturday.

SLOUGH left themselves with too much to chase as they drew with High Wycombe on Saturday.

The result means that they are still in deep trouble in second from bottom with the mid-table sides stretching clear of them.

Captain Bobby Sher chose to insert the visitors who then plundered runs galore as Matt Eyles (100) and Keith Newell (118) put on an opening tsand of 224 before they went on to make 288-5 in 60 overs.

Fahim Qureshi went early but Shaan Khan (42), Michael Payne (93) and Perveiz Aziz (53 not out) ensured that Slough finished on 226-4 and avoided defeat but they could not stay up with the run rate.
