A FLIGHTY-fifty from Kevin Pietersen and a ton stand from the Glamorgan batsman couldn’t even create the requisite drama as the pitch was the only winner at Swalec Stadium, with Surrey and Glamorgan both forced to settle for a draw.

After Glamorgan had declined to chase a stiff target of 352 in a minimum of 57 overs, the two captains shook hands at five o’clock with Surrey taking 12 points from the game and Glamorgan nine.

Starting the day 144 runs ahead, Surrey, in their quest for quick runs, scored 207 for 4 in 37 overs.

The more aggressive Steve Davies opened the batting instead of Zafar Ansari, bur soon lost his partner Rory Burns who was caught and bowled by Graham Wagg.

The left arm seamer then bowled Davies, and then had a hand in Jason Roy’s dismissal when he held on to stunning catch at extra cover.

Kumar Sangakkara again looked in sublime form, and it came something of a surprise when he struck a catch to backward point.

Kevin Pietersen meanwhile, did not play a particularly fluent innings and with seven fielders on the boundary dealt mostly in singles, though he was undefeated on 53 when Surrey declared.

And it soon became obvious that Glamorgan were not interested in a run chase.

To score at a rate of over six runs an over was always going to be difficult, and Rudolph, having seen his team avoid the follow on with a stirring batting performance on third day was reluctant to take any chances.

Batty was also not prepared to gamble and lose especially after seeing his team score 563 for 7 for declared in the first innings.

Jacques Rudolph and James Kettleborough made a sedate start, and it soon became obvious that saving the game was Glamorgan’s objective.

The opening pair took no risks against Surrey’s attack of three seamers and the spin of Batty and Ansari and at tea had only scored 57 from 23 overs.

They continued untroubled after tea with Rudolph reaching his second half century of the game. And Kettleborough recorded his first fifty for the club.

Glamorgan were comfortable on 116 for 0 when the skippers decided enough was enough at around 5pm.
