Joe Denly’s superb 146 was not enough to complete an MCC fightback as county champions Warwickshire wrapped up victory by an innings and 29 runs in Abu Dhabi.

Resuming on 304-4 in their second innings with Denly unbeaten on 119, the MCC harboured hopes of holding out for an unlikely draw on the fourth and final day despite following on after being dismissed for a paltry 130 first time around.

Peter Trego continued where he had left off by adding 30 more runs to his overnight total of 57 before he was caught by Varun Chopra off the bowling of Oliver Hannon-Dalby for 87.
