Cornwall's National Counties Trophy ambitions remain in their own hands despite Sunday’s game against Berkshire at Slough being declared a ‘no result’.
A heavy thunderstorm just before four o’clock resulted in the match being abandoned with both sides having to sette for a point.
Berkshire had posted the big total of 319 for 7 with Euan Woods (100) and Archie Carter (61) sharing a stand of 155 for the third wicket.
Skipper Dan Lincoln ended on 65 not out as 59 came off the last five overs. Will MacVicar took 3-57 from his ten overs.
Cornwall were 52 without loss, in only the sixth over, when the storm struck.
Chris Gibson was unbeaten on 26 and Penzance colleague Ben Seabrook, a late replacement for Alex Bone, was 19 not out.
Cornwall can progress to the knockout stages if they win both remaining games, starting at noon on Sunday against Berkshire at Redruth.
