QUEENSTOWN (New Zealand), March 4: Otago hung on for a draw on the third and final day of the tour match against England Monday.
The home team’s victory target of 261 in 45 overs was never a realistic one and they suffered a top-order collapse to slide to 34 for four.
England paceman Andy Caddick did the damage, taking three for 43 to add to his first innings haul of four for 42, but Otago eventually finished on 124 for six with Craig Cumming 57 not out.
Earlier, Otago declared at their overnight 150 for six, three runs short of England’s first innings 153.
