D'Oliveira's Century Leads Worcestershire to Draw Against Somerset

Brett D'Oliveira's century helps Worcestershire earn a draw with Somerset.

Worcestershire captain Brett D'Oliveira's defiant century, along with Matthew Waite's superb resistance, led to an unlikely County Championship draw with Somerset at Taunton. Starting the day on 280-5 in their second innings, they closed on 485-9. Jack Leach claimed his 500th first-class wicket but the visitors' rearguard action frustrated Somerset. D'Oliveira's intense concentration lasted for five hours and 40 minutes before he was given out lbw. Despite the challenges, Worcestershire held on.
