Dream scenario is about 360-9, leaving Woakes with no option but to needle the last runs with one arm in a sling.

357-9

They haven't been allowed for ages.

Brilliant series, the glory and the heartbreak of sport.

You can try and create it with colour, bullshit and money but it never, ever works.

2-2 is a fair result. Ridiculous series and fitting way for it to end.

Could and probably should have been 3-1, maybe even 4-1.
