That was a brilliant effort in the second innings, but what happened in the first? The batting conditions were as good as we'll get all season, but we managed a pathetic 155.

Joe Clarke has never been one of my favourite players because he usually fails when the chips are down, but not today. He singlehandedly earned us the draw, and to bat for close on 9 hours in that heat was an epic effort. One of those draws that seems like a win!
