Day Four

Morning: No play possible due to wet outfield.

Afternoon: No play possible due to rain. Match abandoned.

Match DRAWN

The Verdict: A highly fortuitous stalemate, though one I daresay we karmically deserve after drawing three matches already this season from winning positions; and certainly it couldn't happen to a nicer opponent. But the nature of the abandonment has drawn plenty of comment coming so hard on the heels of talk earlier this season about the Pears leaving New Road, and you can't help but conclude that if recent levels of rainfall are indeed the new normal, then the clock is well and truly ticking on England's most floodable ground. For the team, meanwhile, who contrived - just about - to not lose this must-not-lose encounter, a month of T20 offers relief from the demands of the Championship.
