Norfolk won this return match by 69 runs.
The encounter between the two teams at Norwich the week before had been drawn.
The victory kept open Norfolk's hopes of sharing the Championship title.
The match was originally due to be played at Witney, but the pitch there was judged unfit for a two-day game and was transferred to the Hertford College ground.
Rain delayed the start on the first day until noon.
For the winners, there were 9 fours in Davies's 94.
In the Norfolk first innings, Cowles and Blake added over fifty for the eighth wicket.
For Oxfordshire, A Rogers took 10 wickets in the match for 118 runs.
Wood top-scored with 50.
The 157 runs conceded by P Rogers were the most in a match during the season.
