Time for me to go and lie down in a darkened room. That was something very special. And it was just what the game needed, as the series is all square at 2-2 and both sides have the chance to win it on Thursday, back at the ground known as the Lara, in the fifth act of this pulsating drama.
Simon Burnton’s match report will be along just as soon as he works out how many records are lying shattered on the press-box floor. Thursday’s decider will be covered by Rob Smyth, so I’ll just say thanks for your company and correspondence and a very happy Christmas.
