Marcus Trescothick hit a club record 50th first-class century for Somerset as their Specsavers County Championship clash with Warwickshire in Taunton ended in a draw.
Fresh from reaching 25,000 first-class runs the previous day, Trescothick surpassed the long-standing record of Harold Gimblett as he reached 106 in Somerset's first innings of 230.
It was not enough to prevent his side following on though, as the hosts were dismissed 183 runs in arrears for an otherwise disappointing 230, but the former England opener was not done.
Trescothick then went and hit an unbeaten 46 in the second innings to calm any nerves and ensure the rain-affected contest ended with honours even.
Reigning champions Middlesex's game against Surrey also finished as a draw as they decided against a final-day charge at Lord's.
Set a target of 242 from 39 overs after Surrey were bowled out for 339 in their second innings - Toby Roland-Jones taking 4-76 - Middlesex opted for safety after losing two early wickets and ultimately ended on 92-2.
Earlier, Kumar Sangakkara added just four to his overnight 116 - his second hundred of the match - but half-centuries from Ben Foakes (67 not out) and Sam Curran (51) bolstered the Surrey total.
Meanwhile, the Roses match between Lancashire and Yorkshire at Old Trafford also ended in a stalemate - Peter Hanscomb starring for the visitors with a 76-ball century.
Earlier, Ryan McLaren hit 84 and shared in a seventh-wicket stand of 70 with Stephen Parry (39) as Lancashire avoided the follow-on.
A half-century from Simon Kerrigan (59no) and eight not out from the injured James Anderson - who batted with a runner - then helped the hosts to the safety of 432, just 16 behind.
Peter Handscomb was unbeaten on 101 and Alex Lees 62 not out when the game ended with Yorkshire 177-1.
