Records continued to fall as Bermuda blazed the highest team score and David Hemp the highest individual score since the inception of the Intercontinental Cup in 2004 on the final day of the four-day contest at the L.C.DeVilliers Oval in Pretoria today.

But Bermuda's marathon innings, which spanned 196 overs through seven sessions of play over three days, condemned the match to a draw. Bermuda earned six points, their first in the tournament, by virtue of their 242-run first innings lead.

When Gus Logie's men were finally bowled out in mid-afternoon, their total stood on 620, eclipsing by 32 runs the competition's previous top score of 588, ironically compiled by Canada against Bermuda last summer.

Glamorgan skipper Hemp, in only his second four-day match for Bermuda, finished unbeaten on 247, smashing the record of 220 set by Kenya's Steve Tikolo against Bermuda in Namibia. It was also the 35-year-old's career-high score, overshadowing the 186 he scored against Essex in the English County Championships.

Hemp's marathon effort, including 30 fours and two sixes, lasted 525 minutes and saw him face 373 balls.

By the close of play, Holland had scored 170 for two, Essex county player Ryan ten Doeschate scoring exactly 100, which included his 1,000th first class run in his 19th innings.

Interest in the final session focused solely on whether ten Doeschate could complete his second century of the match, having made 138 in the Dutch first innings, and he duly obliged in the 42nd over before being dismissed

lbw by Irving Romaine in the final over.

Tom DeGrooth's was Holland's only second innings wicket to fall, snapped up by Romaine at second slip off the bowling of Saleem Mukuddem for four.

While Hemp proceeded to shred the record books, he received plenty of help from Bermuda's tailend bats who also set a number of new marks.

Dwayne Leverock's half-century (51) represented his highest first class score while last man Kevin Hurdle (29) also enjoyed a career-best.

Earlier Mukuddem had fallen in the fourth over just 10 runs short of what would have been his maiden first class century, although still his top score at this level.

After a competition record seventh-wicket partnership of 219 with Hemp, Mukuddem was caught behind by Jeroen Smits off Daan van Bunge for 90, although he clearly felt he hadn't touched the ball.

The eighth-wicket partnership between Hemp and Leverock, worth 132, was also a new Bermuda record as was the last wicket stand of 50 between Hemp and Hurdle.
