County champions Warwickshire deny Somerset victory after last-wicket stand at Taunton A draw, it says on paper, but to a Somerset side who could - and should - have beaten the champions, it felt like a loss. To Warwickshire, who needed their highest ever fourth-innings total and a generous umpiring decision to emerge unbeaten, survival was akin to victory. Rikki Clarke and Oliver Hannon-Dalby were their final-wicket heroes, remaining unbroken and unbowed for a final hour and 20 minutes. Hannon-Dalby survived 62 deliveries, although television replays suggested he edged one of them behind. The umpire, Nick Cook, did not agree, and denied teenager Jamie Overton the glory his hostile final spell seemed to deserve. "There was a noise, definitely," Hannon-Dalby smiled afterwards, adding that he could not be sure it was his bat on ball. Marcus Trescothick, the Somerset captain, was equally diplomatic. "I am not going to turn in to a football manager," he said. It's the way it is, we get what we're given. There were other frustrations for Somerset, who dropped four catches on the final day, including Clarke put down twice in the slips. And of course, Trescothick knew anything less than a win would leave the central question lingering: should he have enforced the follow-on after skittling the visitors for 158? Somerset were left chipping away, instead, on a pitch which did not deteriorate as thought. Varun Chopra eased to a classy century and seemed entirely in control when he was bowled around his legs by left-arm spinner Jack Leach. Tim Ambrose and Laurie Evans appeared untroubled putting together a century stand before Ambrose top-edged an ill-judged pull shot. When Evans's brave rearguard ended - 55 from 158 balls - it seemed the end was nigh. But Clarke had other ideas, and in Hannon-Dalby he found a limpet with whom to cling on. Leach, 21, who two winters ago was tidying shopping trolleys at a Taunton supermarket, deserved more. He make do with a man-of-the-match award for his first five-wicket haul in first class cricket.
