The game was certainly full of drama, with Richards proving his worth between the sticks.

Richards also gave a less-than-inspiring pre-match talk to team-mates, saying: “Today we know they’re better than us.
“But it doesn’t matter, it’s all about what you’ve got inside.
“I want you to look at the person to your left, now to the right. This is the spirit.
“It’s all about trust, togetherness and leadership.”
