Now the final over bowled by John Morris:
Lara defends first three balls.
Fourth ball is a bouncer. Lara hit on the helmet.
Piper comes down the pitch to remind Lara that with no prospect
of a result the game can be called off in 2 balls time.
5th ball: 4 (501*) First man to score 500. Previous first class
          record Hanif Mohammad (run out) 499.
Warwickshire declare. Game called off as a draw.

Durham 556/8 decl (Morris 204)
Warwickshire 810/4 dec (Lara 501*, Piper 116*).

Fell short of the record for most boundaries in an innings.
The record is 68 by Percy Perrin for Essex vs Derbyshire,
Chesterfield, 1904.

So there you have it. 500 runs whilst only offering 3 chances.
And all because a bowler overstepped while bowling Lara,
leg-stump for 10.
