Overseas opening batsman Aditya Waghmode led the way in his side’s innings with a top score of 87, including seven fours and two sixes as Scholes were bowled out for 162.

Bingley’s young spin combination of Bradley Reeve (4-41) and Kyme Tahirkeli (3-18) did much of the damage.

The visitors were soon in trouble at 30-4 in reply.
