5.12pm: Fist-bumps. Match drawn. Just the 21 wickets in the match and an absolute mountain of runs. Sadly it was defined by the pitch, which was just too flat to offer anything to seamers or spinners, but Hassan Azad, Sam Evans, Jamie Smith and Ollie Pope will all remember it fondly. Thanks for joining us throughout the four days
