HARRY Elms was caught out two runs short of a half century.

His 48 and 44 from Oliver Towle helped Alderely Edge's thirds to 192 all out in a loss at Didsbury's thirds.

Elms also took two wickets in his expensive five overs in which 37 runs were scored.

His scalps included Didsbury's top scorer Shaheryar Jawaid, 57, but Didsbury had sufficient fireower to assemble 195 for 6 inside 38 overs.
