Match Notes

  • Trott double-ton confirms appetite

    Lions captain Jonathan Trott batted for 647 minutes, finishing with the fourth double-century of his first-class career, before both sides settled for an early draw

  • 'Machine' Trott back in working order

    For Jonathan Trott to mark his return to representative cricket with an unbeaten 176, batting for nine hours, was some achievement

  • Trott consolidates after de Bruyn double

    Given he was not batting first wicket down on his return to representative international cricket, Jonathan Trott was at the crease rather sooner than he would have envisaged on the second day in Paarl.

  • Cloete provides glue as Lions get stuck

    Gihahn Cloete and Theunis de Bruyn made centuries to ensure that England Lions were kept in the field throughout the hottest of days
