Daryl Mitchell hits 78no after Harry Brook’s defiant ton
A chaotically entertaining game characterised by batting that was either – and mostly – shambolic or sensational was eventually settled by a belated outbreak of calm.
Daryl Mitchell’s sober 78 not out, most notably assisted by Michael Bracewell (51), took a side floundering at 24 for three and set them on the path to victory, ultimately wrapped up by four wickets and with 13.2 overs to spare.
