Robson batted for over six hours, showing great patience as he waited to put the bad ball away, stroking 21 boundaries all around the wicket."

"Ultimately, with 63 overs lost to bad light on the first three days, there was not enough time for either side to force a result. The teams shook hands on the draw after tea with Middlesex 353-3, leading by 285."
