In response, Leicestershire made 224 in their first-innings, with Hudson being dismissed for a duck by Tom Richardson. Leicestershire were forced to follow-on in their second-innings, this time making an improved 385, although Hudson only contributed a single run before he was bowled by Digby Jephson. Set 187 to win, Surrey reached 104/4, before the match was declared a draw. This was his only major appearance for Leicestershire.
