12 Nov 2012 6:05 AM IST
Jonathan Trott notched up a hundred before England knocked out six Haryana wickets but their third and final practice match ahead of the Test series against India ended in a tame draw on the last day on Sunday.
Haryana were 133 for six in 42 overs, chasing 441, when the match was stopped. Resuming at 73 for two after tea, opener Nitin Saini completed a half century before becoming Monty Panesar's only victim of the day when the left-arm spinner had him caught behind after an 84-ball stay.
Saini struck nine fours during his entertaining knock but the rest of the Haryana line-up failed to impress and pacer Tim Bresnan picked up two wickets to finish with a five-wicket haul in the match. Earlier, England had useful batting practice ahead of their first cricket Test against India starting November 15.
