Lions of England 316 (Flintoff 108, Davies 76, Whitney 4-72) and 276 for 9 (Colles 67, Hurst 53, Elliott 3-38) DREW with cricket Australia XI 214 (Hicks 64, Brown 5-21) and 442 by December 9 (Ward 120, Clayton 84, Hackney 70*, Radhakrishnan 58, Cook 4-47)
Half center of Matt Hurst and James Colles rebuilt the lions entries after they had passed to 21 for 4, before the tail was maintained despite Jem Ryan and Sam Elliott claiming three wickts each.
The entries of the lions had encountered problems when Elliott hit twice in so many balls, withdrawing Hamza Shaikh and James Rew, to leave tourists four below in nine overs.
The Ben McKinney opener counterattacked with 47 before Hurst and Coles could work to balance a rescue work to maintain a victory goal still attainable within its reach.
Hurst was tried leg before moving through the wickt and seeking to design a shot to go out with Elliott before Coles took Ryan to Hackney when the field began to spread.
First entries Centurion Rocky Flintoff was thrown at a different role, his patient 28 of 64 balls according to the situation, while Shoaib Bashir (24) hit for an hour before Hugo Burdon found his bump. The last pair of the tongue and the cook completed the rear surviving 45 balls, since the lions reached stumps in 276 for 9.
The Lions now direct their attention to the first class game next week against Australia A in Sydney, which begin on January 30.
