Chelsea missed the chance to move 12 points clear at the top of the Premier League as they were held to a draw by a resilient Burnley at Turf Moor.

The hosts had won all four of their previous homes games without conceding but fell behind early on when Pedro finished off a sweeping attack.
The visitors dominated possession and it seemed only a matter of time before they added to their advantage.
However, Burnley's record signing Robbie Brady - making his full debut following a January move from Norwich - equalised with a stunning free-kick.
The Clarets almost went ahead before the break but Thibaut Courtois superbly denied Matt Lowton from close range.
Chelsea did not have a single shot on target in the second half as Burnley took the game to the Premier League leaders, Andre Gray testing Courtois with a low drive when he was through one-on-one.
In the end, manager Antonio Conte will perhaps consider this a point gained as the Blues moved 10 points ahead of Tottenham. Manchester City can close the gap to eight points if they beat Bournemouth on Monday.
Burnley, meanwhile, are 12th.
Chelsea's away form in the Premier League is unrivalled but this was always going to be a difficult test for the Blues.
Just two sides have a better home record than Burnley - Chelsea and Tottenham - with 28 of the Clarets' 29 points collected prior to the visit of Conte's men coming at Turf Moor.
Initially, it looked like the visitors had the measure of their opponents, swiftly turning defence into attack to catch the Clarets out of position and open the scoring.
To Burnley's credit, they did not abandon a system that had brought them so much success on home soil. They allowed Chelsea to dominate possession but closed them down quickly as soon as they approached the box.
A disciplined four-man defence had the bustling Diego Costa and the mercurial Eden Hazard under control, limiting the Blues to just two shots on target in the whole game, both of which came in the first half.
It was only the second time all season they have dropped points against a side outside the top six. With just Manchester City and Manchester United left to face out of the leading group, it will take an almighty collapse to deny the Blues a fifth Premier League title.
A key factor in Chelsea's impressive season has been consistency, with Conte rarely making changes to his side unless forced to.
Against Burnley, he chose the same XI that started in the 3-1 home win against Arsenal last time out. That meant Cesc Fabregas - who scored against the Gunners - had to make do with a place on the bench.
Despite Conte recently calling Fabregas "a genius" and likening him to Italy midfielder Andrea Pirlo, the Spanish midfielder has started just five games this season.
N'Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic were preferred in midfield against Burnley but both are defensive-minded and it quickly became evident that Chelsea were lacking the creativity of someone like Fabregas.
Once again Fabregas climbed off the bench but with 20 minutes remaining against a determined Burnley side, it left him little time to make an impression.
It could be time for Conte to give Chelsea's 'Pirlo' his chance to shine for the run-in.

Burnley's home form has all but guaranteed their Premier League status for next season, with Sean Dyche's side comfortably in mid-table and 10 points clear of the relegation zone.
But while their home form is as good as anyone's in the top flight, their away form has been on par with a side battling to stay up. They've collected just one point on their travels, a daunting record going into four consecutive away games.
The addition of Brady appears an astute signing and, along with Joey Barton, means they possess two players who are deadly from set-pieces.
No side have scored more goals from direct free-kicks than Burnley this season and that could represent their best chance of picking up some much-needed points on the road.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche: "Chelsea are a fine side. They are the market leaders for a reason and we limited them to two shots on target and that is tough enough.
"We made four or five really good chances. I am very pleased overall. The mentality here, I am pleased about the growth in the side.
"We are maturing as a side as individuals and as a team. You need assuredness in the Premier League. I was super impressed with our reaction to their goal. We were not disappointed or stepping on the back foot."
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte: "It is one point and for sure we must be disappointed. We tried to win. We started very well and scored a goal and created chances to score the second goal.
"We tried to win but we know Burnley at home are not easy. They have taken 29 points at home. Now it is important to continue to work.
"I think we tried to build and do our football for sure. Burnley tried to disrupt our play. They played long balls and the second ball is not easy. It is not easy to play against this team. It is very particular. At home they are very tough."
After hosting non-league Lincoln City in the FA Cup fifth round on Saturday [12:30 GMT], Burnley begin a run of four away games in a row when they travel to Hull City on 25 February.
Chelsea are also in FA Cup action at the weekend. They travel to Championship side Wolves [17:30] on Saturday before hosting Swansea in the Premier League the following weekend.

A Liverpool fan who lost consciousness in the crush at Hillsborough told the inquests he "came to" and began trying to save a teenager lying next to him.

The new inquests heard Stuart Gray gave John McBrien, of Holywell, Flintshire, heart massage and chest compressions.
But the health worker said the 18-year-old was in a "desperate state" and he was "fighting a lost cause".
Ninety-six fans were fatally injured in a terrace crush at the FA Cup semi-final in Sheffield on 15 April 1989.
Mr Gray, who was the general manager of Kidderminster district health authority and had some first aid training, told the jury he remembers the disaster at the Liverpool v Nottingham Forest match "as vividly today" as he did 26 years ago.
He reassured Mr McBrien's family he did not leave the A-Level student's side.
"John was lying at my feet. I was sitting up myself, I don't know how I got there. When I came to he was lying at my feet, lying on his back," he said.
"I was aware of the fact that it was probably fighting a lost cause, but the point was that he was there and I was just trying to do what I knew was the best thing I could do to see if I could get him breathing again."
He said Mr McBrien was "in a desperate state" but added: "I thought that if I got some air into his lungs and I could at get his heart going again, there was at least a chance he may have survived.
"So I just kept going, giving him heart massage and compressing his chest for maybe about five minutes."
Mr McBrien had a place to study at Liverpool University and his mother, Joan Hope, described him as a "kind, generous and charismatic" son who "excelled academically".
The inquests, in Warrington, Cheshire, continue.


Lewis Hamilton headed championship rival Nico Rosberg in first practice at the Mexican Grand Prix.

Hamilton was 0.759 seconds ahead of Rosberg, exactly the sort of display he needs at a race he really needs to win to keep his title hopes alive.
Rosberg, who leads by 26 points with 75 points available from three races, will be crowned champion on Sunday if he wins and Hamilton is 10th or lower.
Hamilton was fastest and Rosberg only seventh in an inconclusive session.
On a chilly morning in Mexico City, with temperatures at the start of practice only 10C, the two Mercedes drivers set their best times on medium tyres, while the four drivers between them were on softer rubber.
Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel was second fastest, 0.079secs behind Hamilton and just ahead of team-mate Kimi Raikkonen, both using the soft tyre, and the Force Indias of local hero Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg next up on super-softs.
Williams's Valtteri Bottas was sixth, also using the softs.
It was an inconclusive session as a result of the different tyre choices and the constantly changing track surface at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, which started off extremely dusty and became quicker through the session as the circuit cleaned up.
But Mercedes did say that Rosberg had not had any problems, and the two Mercedes drivers did set their times at similar points in the session, when the difference in track surface would have been minimal.
The dirty track led to a number of drivers locking their wheels and running wide, but there was a bigger concern for Red Bull, where Max Verstappen suffered a rear brake fire midway through the session which damaged sensors and brought his running to an end.
The Dutchman was 14th fastest, with team-mate Daniel Ricciardo, who needs only one point this weekend to secure third place in the championship, eighth.
Sauber also had a difficult session after Felipe Nasr suffered a front wing failure after 35 minutes, the part exploding on the straight after he had bounced over a kerb on the exit of the Esses.
The wing sheered along the line where the FIA-mandated neutral section in the centre of the wing meets the part at which the teams can start playing with the design.
Sauber also felt another part of the car had failed at the same time and stopped running for much of the rest of there session, with the car of Nasr's team-mate Marcus Ericsson also held in the pits.
Brazilian Nasr was sent out in the closing minutes, however, once the cars had been checked and split the McLarens in 17th place, while the Swede stayed in the pits.
Jenson Button was only 18th for McLaren, two positions and 0.253secs behind team-mate Fernando Alonso, both using the mediums, on a weekend when both expect to struggle for competitiveness because of the Honda engine's lack of power on the long straights.
Also on mediums, Jolyon Palmer was 21st, three places and 0.541secs adrift of team-mate Kevin Magnussen as both seek to convince Renault that they deserve a seat at the team alongside new signing Hulkenberg in 2017.

A 22-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man died in bed following an alleged assault at a bar in Doncaster.

Lewis Siddall, 24, from Skellow in Doncaster, was found dead at his home at around 05:20 BST on Friday.
South Yorkshire Police said he had reportedly been assaulted in the VDKA bar in Silver Street, Doncaster, shortly after 23:00 BST on Thursday.
The arrested man remains in police custody.
Police said Mr Siddall is reported to have returned home and gone to bed following an incident in the bar. The cause of his death has not yet been confirmed.
Anyone with information should contact South Yorkshire Police on 101.


New Zealand flanker Jerome Kaino is likely to be fit for the British and Irish Lions series in June despite needing an operation on a knee injury.

The 34-year-old will have surgery on a meniscus tear he sustained for Auckland Blues in Super Rugby two weeks ago.
But Blues assistant coach Steve Jackson said: "I'm pretty sure he'll be fine for the Lions tour."
The Lions are due to play Auckland Blues on 7 June with their first Test against the All Blacks on 24 June.
"He was feeling it, and it was locking up on him. He'll get his feet up and normally you come back quickly from those sorts of operations," added Jackson.
Two-time World Cup-winner Kaino, who has 77 international caps, is expected to be out for four to six weeks.


Jacob Zuma is the most colourful and controversial president South Africa has had since white-minority rule ended in 1994.

He was born into poverty, went into exile to fight apartheid and has been embroiled in a series of scandals, which would have ended the careers of many politicians.
His poor roots, charisma and strength in adversity partly explain his ability to hold on to power, despite calls for his resignation and attempts to oust him as ANC leader.
His credibility was most severely damaged in March 2016 when South Africa's highest court ruled that he violated the constitution by failing to repay the government for money used on upgrading his private residence, including building a cattle enclosure, amphitheatre, swimming pool, visitor centre and chicken run. The president apologised to South Africans for the "frustration and confusion" caused by the scandal vowed to pay the money.
Mr Zuma's private life has also grabbed the headlines, and has caused much controversy.
The 73-year-old is a proud polygamist - following a Zulu tradition - and currently has four wives. He is also known for his infidelity and has fathered a child with another woman.
His political career was written off in the run-up to the 2009 election when he was simultaneously battling allegations of rape and corruption.
He was acquitted of rape, though the corruption case has proved harder to shake off.
He always denied charges of money-laundering and racketeering, stemming from a controversial $5bn arms deal signed in 1999 and had said he would resign if found guilty of wrong-doing.
The case was controversially dropped by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) just weeks before the elections which saw him become president.
Some seven years later, the opposition is still fighting for the charges to be reinstated and has asked the courts to review the NPA's decision. There is yet to be a ruling.
At the time of his election as president in 2009, Mr Zuma's supporters saw his charismatic popular touch as a refreshing contrast to Thabo Mbeki, who was seen as a rather aloof president.
"He is a man who listens; he doesn't take the approach of an intellectual king," said one unnamed supporter, in an apparent swipe at Mr Mbeki, whose allies were accused of spearheading Mr Zuma's prosecution after he had wrested control of the ANC in 2007.
Mr Zuma's modest upbringing and promotion of traditional family values are seen as a major factor in his enduring popularity among many poor South Africans, especially in rural areas.
His rise to power earned him the name "the people's president", but this carefully crafted image lay in tatters following the controversy over the upgrading of his residence in the rural area of Nkandla in northern KwaZulu-Natal.
ANC supporters heckled and booed him in front of foreign dignitaries - including US President Barack Obama - at a memorial in Johannesburg following the death of South Africa's first black leader, Nelson Mandela, in December 2013.
"He is eating when we are hungry," one protester said, capturing the public anger over the Nkandla upgrade.
Nkandla was where he was born on 12 April 1942. Brought up by his widowed mother, he had no formal schooling.
He joined the ANC at the age of 17, becoming an active member of its military wing, Umkhonto We Sizwe, in 1962.
He was convicted of conspiring to overthrow the apartheid government and imprisoned for 10 years on the notorious Robben Island, alongside Mr Mandela.
Mr Zuma, popularly known as "JZ", is said to have helped keep up morale among the incarcerated ANC grandees with songs and impromptu theatre - it was that comical nature which endeared him to ordinary South Africans before his elevation to the presidency.
After being freed from prison, Mr Zuma left South Africa, living first in Mozambique, then Zambia, as he rose through the ANC ranks to the executive committee.
He became one of the first leaders to return home in 1990 - when the ban on the ANC was removed - to take part in negotiations with the white-minority government.
While trying to oust Mr Mbeki, he enjoyed strong support among trade unionists and the communist party - an ANC ally - as they believed he would redistribute South Africa's wealth in favour of the poor.
They said Mr Mbeki was too business-friendly and had presided over "jobless growth".
However, Mr Zuma has not changed South Africa's economic policy and many of his erstwhile allies, such as firebrand youth leader Julius Malema, have since dropped him, accusing him of not doing enough to help the poor and of presiding over a corrupt government.
His private life has not helped this impression.
Married six times in total, Mr Zuma has 21 children and has married twice since becoming president in lavish traditional ceremonies in Nkandla.
One of his wives, Mozambican Kate Mantsho, took her own life in 2000, while his ex-wife, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, is now chairperson of the African Union commission.
Zuma's wives:
Ex-wives:
Some analysts believe that with Mr Zuma due to step down as ANC leader in December 2017 and as president after general elections in 2019, he intends to back Ms Dlamini-Zuma as his successor in the hope that she will shield him from any further corruption investigations.
In 2006, Mr Zuma was acquitted of raping an HIV-positive family friend, but his statement during the trial, that he showered after unprotected sex with the woman to guard against possible infection, provoked ridicule.
Four years later, he admitted that he had had a baby with the daughter of another family friend.
He was again accused of undermining the government's HIV/Aids policy, which urges people to be faithful and use condoms.
But as president he won over many critics and activists when he announced a major overhaul to the country's Aids policy in December 2010 - this has seen a drastic increase of the roll-out of life-saving anti-retroviral (ARV) drugs.
South Africa has an estimated five million people living with HIV - more than any other country.
Mr Mbeki had denied the link between HIV and Aids and his government had always said ARV drugs were too expensive to distribute to all who needed them.
But that has been one of Mr Zuma's few unqualified successes.
The economic situation has been worsening, and there are almost daily protests by people demanding better basic services such as housing, schools, water and electricity.
More worrying for Mr Zuma, there are growing concerns within the ANC about corruption and cronyism, following allegations that the wealthy Gupta family influences cabinet appointments.
Both Mr Zuma and the Guptas have denied the allegation, but the ANC has ordered an investigation into what its secretary-general Gwede Mantashe has called the "corporate capture" of government.
Some analysts believe that with Mr Zuma coming under pressure on various fronts, it is a matter of time before he is is forced to step down.
However, others say it is unwise to write off the man whose Zulu name, Gedleyihlekisa, means one who smiles while grinding his enemies.


Barack Obama was "raised white", Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson has claimed.

Mr Carson said the president could not understand the African-American experience the way he could.
Mr Obama was born to a white American mother and a black Kenyan father. Mr Carson's parents are African-American.
The comments by Mr Carson - a retired neurosurgeon who finished last in South Carolina's primary - were criticised as "loose talk" by another Republican.
"He's an 'African' American. He was, you know, raised white," Mr Carson told a Politico podcast on Tuesday.
"Many of his formative years were spent in Indonesia. So, for him to, you know, claim that, you know, he identifies with the experience of black Americans, I think, is a bit of a stretch."
Mr Carson, who at one point was pushing businessman Donald Trump near the top of the polls, said he was proud "we broke the colour barrier" when Mr Obama became the first black president in 2008.
"But I also recognise that his experience and my experience are night-and-day different. He didn't grow up like I grew up by any stretch of the imagination," he said.
The 64-year-old had a poor upbringing in Detroit but made it to Yale before a brilliant career as a neurosurgeon.
But he has been struggling in the Republican nomination race and finished sixth out of six in South Carolina at the weekend.
While Mr Trump's nearby rally drew a who's who of the national press corp, Mr Carson's event was largely ignored.
The Secret Service still stands watch over the proceedings, but the screening of elderly retirees with their walkers and artificial hips seemed a bit absurd.
After the event, however, many of the attendees said the retired neurosurgeon had won their support.
"I thought his speech was inspiring, logical and it made sense," said Marty Glazman. "He had a thought-out plan. I came in with an open mind, but I can honestly say I'm now a supporter."
Carson's campaign grinds on
Mr Obama has not publicly responded to Mr Carson's comments.
But Republican Congressman Darrell Issa, who backs Senator Marco Rubio in the Republican race, criticised Mr Carson.
"This is the reason that political loose talk by people who are just beginning to do it is always a problem in real statesmanship," Mr Issa told CNN.
"The fact is that Dr Carson is not really ready to represent America around the world," he added.
On Tuesday, Republican voters in Nevada will make their choice for president.
Jeb Bush drops out of Republican race

The police officer murdered in March's Westminster attack has been awarded a posthumous bravery medal by the Queen.

PC Keith Palmer's George Medal recognises actions that "saved lives".
Gallantry awards also go to pensioner Bernard Kenny, who went to the aid of murdered MP Jo Cox, and to two men who helped after the Tunisia beach attack.
The announcements coincide with the Queen's Birthday Honours list, in which comedian Billy Connolly is knighted and actress Julie Walters becomes a dame.
Glaswegian Sir Billy, 74, who was made a CBE in 2003, said he was "pleased and a little embarrassed" to become a knight for services to entertainment and charity.
TV star June Whitfield, mezzo soprano Sarah Connolly and 100-year-old Gone with the Wind actress Olivia de Havilland also join Dame Julie as new dames.
Meanwhile, author JK Rowling, musician Sir Paul McCartney, television cook Delia Smith and designer Sir Terence Conran are among nine new members of the prestigious Order of the Companion of Honour.
Harry Potter creator Rowling, who is being recognised for her work in literature and philanthropy, said she was "proud" to be part of the "distinguished and diversely talented" order of 65 members.
PC Palmer, 48, was stabbed to death by Khalid Masood on 22 March this year outside the gates of the Palace of Westminster
His award on the Civilian Gallantry List is for "confronting an armed terrorist to protect others and Parliament".
The citation says: "His actions provided time for other officers to react and shoot and stop the assailant.
"PC Palmer's bravery and professionalism unquestionably saved lives. PC Palmer did his duty.
"In doing so he made the ultimate sacrifice."
As well as the George Medal for Mr Kenny, 78, three other people are being given honours following the murder of Jo Cox outside her constituency surgery in Birstall, West Yorkshire, in June 2016.
PC Craig Nicholls and PC Jonathan Wright, who arrested the killer, Thomas Mair, are awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal, while Sandra Major, a constituency worker who witnessed Ms Cox being shot, becomes an MBE on the honours list for parliamentary services and service to the community.
Tourists Allen Pembroke and Paul Short both receive the Queen's Commendation for Bravery for helping the wounded after a gunman opened fire on a beach in Sousse, Tunisia in 2015, killing 38 holidaymakers, 30 of them British.
The honours list is being hailed as the most diverse ever.
Of the 1,109 recipients, half are female, 6.5% have a disability, three-quarters undertake work in their communities, and 10% are from a Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) background.
Among them are musician Chi-chi Nwanoku, who set up a foundation to help provide career opportunities for young BAME classical musicians (OBE), and Nitin Palan, who co-founded the annual Diwali On Trafalgar Square event, who is made an MBE for services to interfaith relations.

Neil Hulme, from Worthing, West Sussex, who "almost single-handedly" saved the Duke of Burgundy butterfly from local extinction, also receives the BEM.
"I'm absolutely delighted, but the conservation of butterflies is always a team effort, so it is equally a recognition of my colleagues, and particularly the volunteers," he said.
The Cabinet Office said the prime minister had provided a "strategic steer" to the honours committee that the system should "support children and young people to achieve their potential, enhance life opportunities, remove barriers to success and work to tackle discrimination".
The CBEs for Aisha Gill, of Roehampton University, for tackling forced marriage, "honour" crimes and violence against women, Gilian McNeil, of charity Theirworld, for the health and education of vulnerable children and women, and NSPCC chairman Mark Wood ,were said to be examples "that reflect these priorities".


An operation to cut the number of motorcycle-related casualties in Wales will take place on Easter Monday.

The number of people hurt or killed in motorbike crashes in Wales in 2014 - 749 - was a seven-year high.
All four Welsh police forces will join Wales' safety camera partnership, GoSafe, in a bid to tackle dangerous and antisocial riding and driving.
Marked and unmarked vehicles will be placed at key sites across Wales, using a mixture of education and enforcement.
Transport Minister Edwina Hart said: "Road traffic collisions happen every day with potentially tragic consequences, but almost all are entirely avoidable.
"Although Wales' roads are amongst the safest in the world - and we can be rightly proud of that - there is still room for significant improvement, but everyone has a responsibility for improving safety and playing their part."
The operation, known as Dragon's Claw, was funded by the Welsh Government as part of its Trunk Road Safety Review, which identified 280 sections of road where further safety measures would be introduced.


Plans for a new out-of-town retail park in Bicester have been thrown out on appeal.

The development off the A41 Oxford Road would have included three stores, three restaurants, a gym and car park.
The initial application was refused by Cherwell District Council in October 2015.
Planning inspector Martin Whitehead said there would be an "unacceptable" impact on traffic should the site go ahead.
He added there would be a "harmful effect" on the surrounding highway network which would not be adequately mitigated.
Councillors rejected an outline planning application in October, citing concerns over traffic and the appearance of future residential developments in the area.
CPG Development Projects said the park would have prevented shoppers travelling to Oxford and Milton Keynes - a situation they described as "increasingly unsustainable".
The firm lodged an appeal and a six-day planning inquiry led by the government planning inspector took place in June.
Mr Whitehead's decision to dismiss the appeal was delivered last week, ending the developer's hopes.
The council's lead member for planning, councillor Colin Clarke, said residents feared the site would increase traffic around the already heavily congested town.
"Until we can be assured that enough provisions are in place to mitigate congestion, which this development is sure to generate, the inspector agrees we cannot justify approving these proposals," he said.


A man has appeared in court charged over the murder of a man found stabbed to death in a house in Newcastle.

The body of Steven Coulter, 59, was discovered at a property in Heaton Hall Road on the morning of 13 July.
He had suffered a single stab wound to the chest and may have been dead for "a number of days", police said.
Jason Downey, 45, of Heaton Hall Road, was remanded in custody by Newcastle magistrates pending a further appearance at the city's crown court.


Victims of the Alton Towers rollercoaster crash have received their first insurance payments.

A law firm representing eight of those injured when two carriages of the Smiler ride crashed on 2 June said interim payments had been released to help with the victims' rehabilitation.
Leah Washington, 17, who has had to have a leg amputated, is among those being represented by Stewarts Law.
The park was closed for five days in the aftermath of the crash.
Among those also being represented by the firm are Miss Washington's boyfriend Joe Pugh, 18, who shattered both knees and suffered "extensive" hand injuries, Vicky Balch, 20, from Leyland in Lancashire, and Daniel Thorpe, 27, from Buxton, Derbyshire.
Miss Balch and Mr Thorpe had been sitting in the front seats of the ride along with Miss Washington and Mr Pugh.
Miss Washington's lawyer has previously said the teenager, from Barnsley, could receive a payout worth millions of pounds after losing her leg.
Earlier in the week Miss Balch, who has turned 20 while in hospital since the crash, told the BBC she thought she was going to die in the four hours she was trapped on the ride. Her lawyer said she was "battling" to avoid an amputation.
On Friday it emerged that Mr Thorpe and another person injured in the accident - Chanda Chauhan, 49, from Wednesbury in the West Midlands - had been discharged from hospital.
Mr Thorpe, a hotel assistant manager, was treated for a collapsed lung and fractured leg, while Ms Chauhan had internal injuries and needed stomach surgery.
Merlin Entertainment, which owns Alton Towers, has said it has contacted those injured and all 16 on board at the time of the crash will receive compensation.
In a statement in the days after the crash it said: "We have recommended each of the injured guests or their families instruct a lawyer and submit a claim for compensation which we will ensure is dealt with swiftly and sensitively."
Paul Paxton, head of personal injury at Stewarts Law, said he and relatives of the injured had met the Health and Safety Inspectorate.
"The families are satisfied that no expense is being spared in the investigation into what caused the accident on the Smiler ride at Alton Towers," he said.
"The families are reassured that every angle is being thoroughly covered."
Merlin is thought to have made losses of about Â£500,000 a day while the theme park was closed for five days in the aftermath of the accident. It was criticised over accusations staff took 11 minutes to make the first 999 call, despite screams from passenger on the Smiler.
Alton Towers said one of its first responders - trained by West Midlands Ambulance Service - was on the scene within minutes of being called by ride staff and security staff would have called 999 as soon as an assessment had been made.
A total of 16 people were injured when the carriage they were in collided with an empty one that had come to a halt on the track ahead of them.


Ipswich Town have agreed to sign former Newcastle United defender Steven Taylor on a deal until the end of the season.

The 31-year-old spent the first part of the season at MLS side Portland Timbers, having left Newcastle in the summer after 268 appearances.
"He's hungry to get back in and prove to everybody that he can still play, at least at this level," Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy told BBC Radio Suffolk.
McCarthy also said Leon Best will not feature for his team again this season.
Former Rotherham and Coventry forward Best, 30, has played 12 times for Ipswich since joining on a one-year deal in August, but failed to score.

Around 2,800 people have taken part in a walk around Cardiff Bay to raise awareness of people living with dementia.

The event, organised by the Alzheimer's Society, saw people walk either a 4km (2.5 mile) or 10km (6.2 mile) route.
The charity said the event was an opportunity to celebrate loved ones affected by dementia.
They have been taking place across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.


A race series for female jockeys with a minimum prize fund of £100,000 has been launched by Arena Racing Company.

Named the Silk Series, professional and amateur jockeys will compete in nine Ladies' Day races in 2017.
The top six finishers will be awarded points on a sliding scale, with first getting 20 and sixth getting two.
The overall winner will win The Tufnell Trophy in memory of Meriel Tufnell MBE, who was Great Britain's first female Champion Jockey in 1972.
The new series has been announced during Women's Sport Week.
"This will be a great boost to the opportunities available to female amateur jockeys next year," said amateur jockey Hayley Moore.
"It is always positive to have a chance to race against professional jockeys for good prize money on racedays with big crowds and The Silk Series promises to deliver all of these things.
"I hope to have the chance to ride in several of the races and even have a go at competing for The Tufnell Trophy."

Calls to Isle of Wight's fire service, currently dealt with in Surrey, are to be handed over to a control room in Hampshire from next year.

Councillors agreed a proposal to switch control rooms when its contract with Surrey Fire and Rescue ends in 2017.
Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue is already in a partnership with Hampshire's fire service, with the two organisations sharing a chief officer.
Under the latest plans, 999 calls would be answered in Winchester from 1 April.
In a meeting of the Isle of Wight Council executive committee, councillors approved the recommendation to move the control function to Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service for a period of five years.
Isle of Wight merged its control centre with Surrey in March 2012 in a five-year deal.
Call answerers in Reigate handle 999 calls from the island and mobilise fire crews in a deal that costs the Isle of Wight service £300,000 annually.
According to the report considered by councillors, the Hampshire deal would cost about £200,000 a year with £89,000 "transition costs".
Under the new agreement, Isle of Wight Council would remain the fire authority.
Earlier this year, neighbouring Dorset Fire and Rescue merged with Wiltshire's fire service in a bid to save £6m a year.


The phrase "one man's loss is another man's gain" could not be more apt than in the case of Cheick Sallah Cisse.

The 23-year-old Ivorian broke hearts across Great Britain when he snatched victory from Lutalo Muhammad in the last second of the men's -80kg taekwondo Olympic final.
It was the Ivory Coast's first Olympic gold and he has, since Rio, become a national hero.
He has been gifted a new house and a 50 million CFA franc (£65,400) cash bonus.
Not bad for an athlete who only has access to poor facilities and finds it hard to raise funds to meet his training costs.
Cisse insists, however, his celebrity status won't distract him from his taekwondo title defence in Tokyo in 2020.
"People look at me differently now, I've become a national symbol. I can't walk in the street without being recognised, I'm a star," he told AFP.
"People approach you, they congratulate you, it's nice, touching, all this gives me strength to achieve even more."
Cisse, who stunned third seed Muhammad with a four-point score right at the death to win 8-6, was honoured by Ivorian president Alassane Ouattara on his return home.
He took the opportunity to ask for an improvement in conditions and coaching for athletes.
"We were supported. The Government did what it could. But we need new laws passed so that athletes can live off their sports," pleaded Cisse.
His request was heard and Ouattara promised to examine what could be done.
"We have talented boys and girls in taekwondo. We have to help them," insisted Cisse.
"I want to tell my little brothers to believe in their dreams. I've gone from nothing to become someone, without any help."


US President Barack Obama has sent up Donald Trump's presidential ambitions, joking that the real-estate mogul would turn the White House into a casino.

During the White House correspondents' annual dinner Mr Obama showed a picture of a White House with girls in bikinis sipping cocktails in a hot tub.
The president also made fun of rumours that he was not born in the US.
Mr Trump, a potential Republican presidential candidate, had recently revived the conspiracy theory.
Mr Obama said that after he released his long-form birth certificate this week in order to settle the issue, Mr Trump could now turn his attention to more serious matters such as, "Did we fake the Moon landing?"
During the dinner comedian Seth Meyers also teased Mr Trump, who sat stony-faced through the barrage.
"Donald Trump often talks about running as a Republican, which is surprising," said Mr Meyers. "I just assumed he was running as a joke."


The Ulster Farmers Union has signed a letter to the prime minister that calls for continued access to the single market and European workers post-Brexit.

The letter was co-ordinated by the National Farmers Union (NFU).
It was also signed by 70 of the UK's largest food producers and grocers.
Other local signatories include Dunbia, Foyle Food Group, Linden Food Group and Mash Direct.
The companies said that as Britain's largest manufacturing sector, food production should be put "at the centre of negotiations".
The EU contributes about Â£250m a year to farmers in Northern Ireland.
In June, the UK voted to leave the EU although Northern Ireland voted to remain by a majority of 56% to 44%.

Bus tycoon James Easdale has resigned as a Rangers director following opposition from the Scottish Championship club's supporters.

Easdale was one of four directors who faced being voted off the board at an extraordinary meeting on 6 March.
He said that surviving such a vote would be "a hollow victory" without the backing of the fans.
Easdale's brother and business partner, Sandy, is football club chairman and controls more than 20% of club shares.
Former Rangers director Dave King, unhappy with the current direction of the club, has been behind a move to remove the current four-man board.
He wanted shareholders to vote off Easdale, chairman David Somers, chief executive Derek Llambias and finance director Barry Leach.
Llambias and Leach are close business associates of Newcastle United and Sports Direct owner Mike Ashley, who is also a Rangers shareholder.
Ashley has loaned substantial sums to the Glasgow club to stay afloat in recent months.
The present board is fighting to remain in place, but its chances of winning a vote on 6 March suffered a blow on Tuesday when the Rangers Supporters Trust announced it had bought a chunk of shares from Beaufort Nominees.
Those shares had previously been controlled by Sandy Easdale through a proxy.
James Easdale, who has been involved with the club along with his brother since 2013, issued a statement explaining his reasons for stepping down.
"I drew great comfort from the shareholder votes in my favour at the AGM on 22 December - almost 90%," it read.
"However, it was clear that this cut little ice with the fans who attended Ibrox on that day.
"I personally feel to remain on the board even after securing shareholder backing once more would be a hollow victory for me without the fans' support to help the club go forward.
"I also want to dispel any remaining doubt that I received any remuneration from Rangers. I did not. Instead, I chose to work for free to benefit the club.
"I want to see Rangers flourish again with both fans and shareholders working in harmony.
"To help achieve that objective, I think it is in the best interests of the club that I step aside and resign from the board of Rangers FC."
Easdale's brother, Sandy, owns 6.45% of Rangers shares and had proxies for another 19.7% until the supporters' trust bought 450,000 from Beaufort Nominees to increase its own shareholding to 2.12%.
It also holds another 1.7% in proxies and intends to vote for King's group, which wants to replace the present board with himself, former Rangers director Paul Murray and former Tennent's Brewery boss John Gilligan.
"After what the fans have been through with previous owners and managements, it is hardly surprising they are heartily sick of the whole affair and they now seek another way forward," added Easdale.
"If a pragmatic solution is not achieved, we will see this endless acrimony continue and it would make the job of attracting fans back to Ibrox even more difficult.
"The club requires big match-day attendances and big investment to thrive, or in turn the performance on the pitch will continue to suffer."


League Two side Luton Town came from behind to deny non-league Solihull a place in the third round of the FA Cup.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Jamey Osborne fired the visitors in front early on, before doubling the lead from the edge of the box.
Danny Hylton pulled one back after Jack Marriott's pass, and Jonny Mullins slotted in an equaliser soon after.
Luton dominated from then on, with two goals each from Jack Marriott and Stephen O'Donnell ensuring a comfortable finish for the hosts.
The Moors had reached the second round for the first time in their nine-year history with a penalty shootout victory at Yeovil in the first round, and seemed set to go even further when Solihull-born Osborne placed his second goal into the bottom corner.
But the visitors were unable to match Luton in the second half, as the Hatters advanced to the third round for the fourth time in their past five attempts.

A man turned his flat into a bomb factory to launch a "campaign of terror" against a Livingston fish firm.

Stephen Cannon, 39, admitted making incendiary devices from fireworks and potassium carbonate at his Barbauchlaw Avenue flat in Armadale, West Lothian.
Livingston Sheriff Court heard his intention was to target employees from Ruskim Seafoods after a dispute with one of its directors.
Cannon is yet to be sentenced for the offences committed in 2016.
The court was told that officers raided Cannon's flat on 14 June and discovered "potentially explosive and flammable materials".
The Explosive Ordinance Disposal Unit was called to the property after police said they would have caused considerable damage if they had exploded.
Det Insp Steven Bertram said: "Stephen Cannon's actions were reckless and dangerous and could easily have caused burns or other injuries.
"As it is, he is responsible for damage to property and causing fear and alarm to the residents in Dechmont, who he targeted."
Cannon admitted making the devices on numerous occasions and testing them in nearby woods.
Livingston Sheriff Court also heard that he filmed the explosions and instructed others in how to make, prepare and use the improvised devices.
He admitted committing the offences between 27 April and 5 June last year at his home and elsewhere in Scotland.
Sheriff Douglas Kinloch deferred sentence on Cannon for background reports.


South Yorkshire Police will not be investigated over its handling of one of the most violent clashes of the miners' strike, the Independent Police Complaints Commission has said.

More than 120 officers and pickets were injured and 93 people were arrested following the incident at the Orgreave coking plant in South Yorkshire on 18 June 1984.
The clash involved 10,000 striking miners and about 5,000 police officers in what became known as the Battle of Orgreave.
Many of those involved have clear memories of what happened on a warm June day.
Mr Horne was one of those arrested at Orgreave and remembers an "atmosphere of doom" among miners on that day.
"When we saw the size of the police presence, we were all very frightened," he said.
"When the horses charged, we were running for our lives. It was a frightening experience."
"I was black and blue with cuts and bruises. First aid was being given to people with broken legs.
"People were unconscious. That's the emotional bit. We had to bandage people with our T-shirts."
Mr Vipond told the BBC the hot day had led to cans of drink being given to officers.
"Just as you heard the click of the cans, the miners kicked off," he said.
"They started to throw things at us and we had to put these cans down and stand shoulder to shoulder.
"It became rather nasty after that, with surges back and forward. Bricks flying and people going down.
"I witnessed a policeman going out with his truncheon and hitting one of the pickets. I think his excuse was he'd snapped or the stress had been too much or something.
"Policeman are not supposed to react like that. When things are bad, a policeman is supposed to be calm and rational.
"That's the way I was taught and that's they way I reacted," he said.
"Horses came out, short shields came out, we tried to defend ourselves as best we could," he said.
"It was a hot day and we were playing football until the police arrived and then all hell let loose.
"Most of us were running like hell, we finished up down embankments, on to railway lines with dogs chasing us.
"People were seriously injured and I mean seriously injured, and left by the police.
"That's not helping, that's attacking, and we were attacked."
"Everybody in our surrounding area worked at the pit, so you could imagine the amount of people heading to Orgreave."
"The officers then broke their ranks and the horses charged.
"It was terrifying having several tonnes of beast galloping at you with a man on top swinging a big stick.
"Everybody was running away looking for shelter.
"I ran to an ice-cream van, which I tried to get under, but there were already four or five people hiding there who told me to get on my way because there wasn't enough room".


Somerset's County Championship game with Warwickshire hangs in the balance at Taunton after another remarkable twist in an already dramatic game.

After bowling out Somerset for 211, the Bears looked set for a two-day defeat on 61-8, chasing 184 to win, with spinner Jack Leach taking 5-33.
But ninth-wicket pair Rikki Clarke (42 not out) and Chris Wright (38 not out) then more than doubled the score.
Putting on 70 so far, the highest stand of the match, they closed on 131-8.
Having survived the extra half hour with growing confidence, it leaves the Bears needing 53 more runs to win on day three, although Somerset will start favourites to take the two wickets they need.
In a match of twists, turns and fine individual performances on a wearing, used pitch, Leach's 'five-for' was not the only one of the day.
Bears spinner Jeetan Patel, the Championship's leading wicket-taker, had earlier claimed the 24th five-wicket haul of his long career, taking 5-86 to boost his tally to 64 for the season.
First-innings hero Dom Bess also weighed in with two more scalps for figures of 8-59 so far on his Championship debut.
And 40-year-old former England opener Marcus Trescothick got in on the act, taking three more catches.
His six in the match is just one short of Chris Tavare's 27-year-old Somerset outfielders' record, but he did equal the county's career record total of 393, set 79 years ago by former England all-rounder Jack White.
But a game in which Somerset were bowled out for just 95 on the first morning might already be over if home skipper Chris Rogers had not been crucially missed at long leg on six on day one.
The former Australia Test opener went on to post the game's only half-century, making what could yet prove a match-winning 58 as he shared in stands of 39 with Trescothick and 55 with Peter Trego.
ECB Cricket Liaison Officer Phil Whitticase was sent to view the second day's play, but it was batting errors, rather than the pitch misbehaving, which accounted for the majority of wickets.
Somerset spinner Jack Leach told BBC Radio Somerset:
"It was a great day for me because first I went past 50 first-class wickets for the season, then 50 Championship wickets, before ending up with a five-for.
"It has been a crazy two days of cricket and Rikki Clarke and Chris Wright have batted really well to set up the prospect of an exciting finish.
"We still feel in a good position because they have to play themselves in again tomorrow and the ball has tended to do more for the bowlers in the morning sessions."
Warwickshire director of cricket Dougie Brown told BBC WM:
"Rikki Clarke and Chris Wright have shown what is possible on this pitch if batsmen are prepared to apply themselves.
"Again there were too many soft dismissals in our innings and we still have a lot of work to do. But we are in with a chance and it will be a big day for us.
"The wicket has been tricky to bat on but by no means unplayable. If we can add a further 20 or 30 without losing a wicket it could put the Somerset bowlers under pressure."


Plans for a £1.7m archives and modern records centre are nearly complete following funding approval from Powys council.

The design work for the centre, at Ddole Road in Llandrindod Wells, is complete and the council is looking to appoint a construction company.
The unit will be able to house thousands of records, with documents dating from 1318 to the present day.
The work is due to be completed next summer, to open early autumn.
It followed concern from the National Archives about the council's ability to meet legal obligations in 2011.


A man who faced charges over the death of a dog walker has been formally cleared after a judge ended his trial.

Billy Latham, of Bexhill, Sussex, had faced a manslaughter charge at Lewes Crown Court, but a judge discharged the jury and terminated the trial.
Mr Latham, 36, was cleared when a not guilty verdict was entered.
Peter Morley, 74, died 10 days after suffering a head injury during an alleged row in July 2014 following a reported dog attack on his own pet.
Prosecution lawyers claimed there had been an assault during the incident in Turkey Road, Bexhill.
After the trial ended on 9 October, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said it was considering appealing against the judge's decision to end the trial.
A CPS spokeswoman said had lawyers decided against the move.
She said: "This was a complex case which turned on the prosecution proving beyond reasonable doubt that the alleged assault caused the victim's death.
"The trial judge ruled that there was not a sufficient link between the two and so the case was stopped."
She added: "The CPS sought independent advice regarding an appeal of this decision. After careful consideration we have decided not to pursue an appeal."


India's central bank has cut its key interest rate for the first time this year.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) reduced its repo rate to 6.5% from 6.75%, in line with the expectations  of many economists.
The repo rate is the level at which the central bank lends to commercial banks.
The latest cut takes interest rates in the country to the lowest level in five years. The RBI cited a fall in inflation for the latest cut.
"Retail inflation measured by the consumer price index (CPI) dropped sharply in February after rising for six consecutive months," said Raghuram Rajan, India's central bank governor. The drop came largely from a bigger-than-anticipated fall in vegetable prices.
Analysts are factoring in more rate cuts to come, later in the year.
Mahantest Sabarad, from SBI Cap Securites in Mumbai, said: "We expect there could be further rate cuts ahead. One of the important data points that the governor had to work with is that there is a normal monsoon forecast ... which is the first preliminary forecast.
"Therefore it tells me that there could be another rate cut by 25 basis points sometime during May-July."
The central bank's rate cut today didn't come as much of a surprise for anyone.
Most business leaders have been hankering for a much bigger reduction.
The boss of one of India's private banks recently told me, he thinks there was a case to be made for a 0.75% rate cut given various economic factors.
Governor Raghuram Rajan has said that the bank's monetary policy stance will remain "accommodative", leading to expectations that there may be more rate cuts in the future if inflation continues to come down.
The RBI has cut rates by 1.5% since January 2015, but much of that has not been passed on to borrowers yet.
So perhaps the central bank's most significant move has been to introduce a mechanism which forces banks to revise their lending rates in accordance with those of the RBI.


The German town of Arnsberg has banned the use of New Year fireworks around its migrant and refugees shelters to avoid the bangs triggering traumatic flashbacks.

Psychiatrists say the sounds of the fireworks could provoke extreme stress among those who have fled war zones.
The town, in North Rhine-Westphalia, also banned sales to shelter residents.
In other parts of the country, migrants have been notified about the likelihood of fireworks during the night.
Amateur firework displays are popular in Germany and small, hand-held rockets are often set off in residential areas.
"Those who have fled war-torn areas associate the bangs more with gunshots and bombs than with New Year," Christian Soebbeler, a spokesman for Arnsberg town, told newspaper Deutsche Welle.
According to a report published in September by Germany's Federal Psychotherapy Chamber, 40% to 50% of migrants or refugees in Germany suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or depression.
Dr Joachim Bauer, a psychotherapist from the University Medical Centre in Freiburg, told Deutsche Welle that for those suffering from PTSD, the sound of fireworks could cause anxiety, panic and shock.
"For this reason it seems sensible to prohibit the customary New Year's fireworks in refugee shelters and the surrounding areas," he said.
Germany has accepted more refugees than any other European nation.
More than one million new asylum-seekers registered in the country in 2015.


Northern Ireland MP Jeffrey Donaldson has been given a knighthood.

The Democratic Unionist is among 101 people from Northern Ireland to be recognised in the Queen's Birthday Honours list published on Friday night.
Mr Donaldson said he was "delighted and humbled" by the honour.
He said: "I am absolutely delighted to have received this honour and indeed humbled that I would be considered worthy."
Mr Donaldson was the youngest person to take a seat in the Stormont Assembly at the age of 22 - and he has been elected to Westminster five times.
"I see this honour, not just as a recognition of the work that I have done in over 30 years in active politics in Northern Ireland, but also a tribute to the people I represent and who have put their faith in me in a number of elections," said Mr Donaldson.
"So, I dedicate this honour to them and also to my family who have stood by me through some very challenging times and also to my party.
"When I was told about it, you could have knocked me down with a feather. It came as a huge surprise but a very welcome one."
Despite the new title, Mr Donaldson, a married father of two daughters, has insisted he will not change.
"I'll always be plain Jeffrey to my friends and to the people that I represent," he said.
Alongside Mr Donaldson is businesswoman Rotha Johnston, who has been made a Dame for services to the local economy, and for her role in promoting female entrepreneurship through her participation in the Northern Ireland Women's Network.
Ms Johnston is also currently pro-chancellor at Queen's University, chair of Northern Ireland Screen, a non-executive director of Northern Ireland Electricity and an independent board member of the Department of Justice and Belfast Harbour Commissioners.
Dr Malcolm McKibbin, the head of the Northern Ireland Civil Service, has been awarded a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath (KCB) for delivering major reform and for his part in negotiations which resulted in the Stormont House and Fresh Start Agreements.
The oldest recipient from Northern Ireland is 92-year-old Stanley McIlroy, who has been given an MBE for his tireless fundraising.
The pensioner from Belfast has raised more than Â£800,000 for Cancer Research UK and continues to bring in an average of Â£10,000 a year.
Mr McIlroy credits medical research scientists for saving the life of his father as far back as the 1960s.
"My father was diagnosed in 1967 and I was told he had six months to live," he said.
"My father died in 1979 - not from cancer but from a stroke.  So it was through research, and research only I believe, that my father had an extra 12 years to live in this world."
At just 21 years old, plumbing apprentice Gary Doyle is the youngest person in the UK to receive an honour on this latest list.
In 2015, Mr Doyle, from Castlewellan in Co Down, won a gold medal for his plumbing and heating skills at the World Skills championships in Brazil.
Meanwhile, school lollipop lady Mary Stevenson has been given an MBE for services to education in north Belfast.
Ardoyne youth worker Owen Maguire is also among those to be given an MBE.
Married couple William and Elizabether McCay have each been awarded a BEM (British Empire Medal) for services to music and the community after they set up a series of summer music recitals in Belfast city centre church to showcase new young talent.
Three Queen's Police Medals and one Queen's Ambulance Service Medal have also been received.

Will Smith has revealed he is planning a musical comeback, including a new album and his first ever world tour with sidekick DJ Jazzy Jeff next year.

It comes after he surprised fans last week by rapping on a remix of Fiesta by Colombian band Bomba Estereo.
Smith told Beats 1 DJ Zane Lowe he has recorded more than 30 songs, with "six or seven that I really, really like".
The actor and rapper admitted he is "terrified" about making his first new album since 2005's Lost and Found.
"When you've had a certain amount of success, it seems like it should breed confidence," explained Smith.
"But it actually doesn't. When you win a lot, you lose the ability to lose. You're not allowed to lose anymore."
He added: "You actually lose the ability to create. The reckless abandon - and it's something I'm actually getting back from watching my kids, they really don't care - that kind of reckless abandon and that lack of fear.
"Not trying to live up to a legacy or anything like that, that gives you freedom," he said.
Smith said he had learned how to be happy to fail, adding that his film After Earth - which co-starred son Jaden Smith - was "a thoroughly and completely accepted failure."
"You have to fail a lot," he said, "you have to fail early. You have to fail often. And you have to fail forward. So I'm trying to get comfortable getting back to failing."
Smith told Lowe his recent collaboration with Bomba Estereo, which sees him rapping in both Spanish and English, had helped him by "shaking the rust off, knocking the dust off".
He revealed he has been in the studio "every day" between filming on forthcoming blockbuster Suicide Squad, including working with several unnamed collaborators.
"I'm really inspired and right now creatively my only struggles are figuring a way to say the things I want to say in a way that is still inspiring," said Smith.
"I'm just trying to still find that voice. I have so many things that I want to say, I'm struggling with saying them in a way that fits the flavour of music that I tend to like."
Also known as The Fresh Prince, the rapper said he is "pretty certain" he and former sidekick DJ Jazzy Jeff will take on the largest tour of their career together in 2016.
"Jeff and I actually have never done a full tour. I'm terrified," he admitted. "We've had a week run here, two weeks there. I'm really ready man."


Scientists have discovered that the chirps of some crickets could be a cunning way to "startle" potential mates into revealing their location.

The Dartmouth College team discovered the insects' communication system and studied females' reactions to the males' songs.
They say the call is likely to have evolved from males impersonating hunting bats and startling females.
Females' shuddering response appears to allow males to locate a mate.
Close examination of females' nervous systems suggested that this shudder evolved from a startle reflex, the researchers say.
The findings are published in the journal Current Biology.
Lead researcher Prof Hannah ter Hofstede investigated this unusual insect duet after a colleague presented some recordings of the insects' particularly high frequency chirps.
"It struck me as very strange that these crickets would use such high frequencies for mating purposes," the scientists said.
Other cricket species avoid sounds at these frequencies, which are similar to the sounds that bats make when navigating and hunting.
Prof ter Hofstede used playback experiments - playing males' songs through speakers - to test females' reaction to the high, bat-like chirps.
"I expected the females to walk to the speaker, because this is the usual behaviour for female crickets, but they did not do this - [they instead] made a small jerking motion after each male call," she explained.
"From many observations of males and females together, I noticed that it was always the male walking to the female when she produced these vibrational signals."
Further study revealed that the male calls also triggered activity in a nerve cell known to be responsible for triggering escape behaviour in crickets.
This, along with careful tracking of the cricket evolutionary tree, led Prof ter Hofstede and her colleagues to conclude that what is now a mating song and dance routine originated from a reflex startled "jump".
This, the scientists say, is an example of "how communication systems can change over evolutionary time.
"And that even something as unlikely as a reflex response to a predator can be the origin for a new communication signal."


Large fibreglass models of toads have returned to Hull, five years after the original art project.

The toads commemorated the 25th anniversary of the death of Hull-based poet Philip Larkin.
They were devised in honour of the poems Toads and Toads Revisited by Larkin, who completed many of his prolific works in the city.
The weekend's Toads Revisited trail has many of the original models on display in the city centre and private houses.
Planned events include flying a 25ft (8m) inflatable toad above the city.
Rick Welton, project director of Toads Revisited said: "The original Larkin with Toads project was a huge success that really captured people's imaginations locally and gained national recognition."
The original 10-week display generated more than Â£1m for Hull, according to a report.
An assessment of the scheme, commissioned by the project's organisers, said that 120,000 visitors came to Hull to follow the trail.
The tourists generated Â£500,000 of extra income for the city's retailers.
The scheme attracted controversy when it was first announced and in 2010 Hull City Council withdrew funding after negative publicity.


Fancy owning a handbag made out of a dead ginger cat?

The "glamour puss" bag was put on New Zealand auction site TradeMe with a starting price of NZ$1 (£0.56) and ended up selling for 500 times that.
Christchurch-based taxidermist Claire Third said she'd picked up the roadkill cat and kept it in her freezer for three months before she decided to turn the stuffed cat into a piece of art.
Reaction to the bag has been mixed, with some calling it "disgusting".
"Not the slightest bit creative or artistic," said one of 200 comments left on the website.
Ms Third, who has been a professional taxidermist for 15 years, has said no animals were killed in the making of the bag, as she found the cat already dead on the side of the road.
She decided to turn it into a bag because "he had a particularly nice face, and the rest of him was squashed".
The auction description says "Tom" is "a very stylish handbag for the girl that has everything".
"A one off purse that will grab attention wherever you go."
Tom, which took Ms Third approximately 300 hours to complete, sat in her freezer for around seven years before she decided to list it online.
She has taxidermied many other animals - including a "Unicorn" made up of various animals such as llamas and pheasants - but works primarily with cats.
"I get a lot of cats because they kill them because of the bird population," she explained.
Feral cats are a problem in New Zealand, especially because the country takes pride in its rare birds, many of whom are under attack from other species.
The country has adopted the "ambitious goal" of eradicating all of the bird's main predators by 2050, with an environmental activist suggesting in 2013 to kill every feral cat in the country.
The ginger handbag, which was originally listed for NZ$1,400, was later decreased to a minimum bid of NZ$1.
"People said I'm profiting off a cat so I reduced the price to a dollar to tell them to stuff it," said Ms Third.
The auction closed on Wednesday, reaching a bid of NZ$545 (£306).
But her artwork has had a mixed response online.
"How about someone shot you and stuffed you, would you like it? Bet not," said one user.
"Leave the cats alone let them rest in peace!" one user exclaimed.
Others have been more receptive to the idea.
"I'd love it in another colour. Not keen on ginger cats, but grey ones are lovely," a contributor added.
And some were just waiting to make their share of animal puns.
"Ha, you gotta be kitten me," one said.
"Is it a a purrrrse or a handbag?" another asked.
"Who let the cat out the bag, or is it inside out?" was another question.
Ms Third said she was "absolutely not expecting" the backlash.
"I've put things on TradeMe before but things like this have never happened," she told the BBC.
She said she'd been "quite upset" by some of the comments, and had had to take the day off work.
"There are some really weird people out there, and I don't know what leather couches they've been sitting on."

A Taliban suicide bomber has attacked a checkpoint near the entrance to the international airport in the Afghan capital Kabul, killing five people.

Local officials said at least 16 people were injured in the blast.
The incident is the latest in a series of recent deadly attacks following the announcement of a new Taliban leader.
Talking after the attack, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani accused Pakistan of sending "messages of war" and harbouring terrorist training camps.
Kabul's deputy police chief, Sayed Gul Agha Rouhani, told reporters that a suicide bomber had driven a vehicle into the first checkpoint on the road into the airport.
Images showed a large plume of smoke rising from the site of the blast and locals reported seeing ambulances approaching the scene.
A Taliban spokesman said the attack, which happened at about midday (07:30 GMT), targeted a convoy of foreigners.
But officials said the five people killed included four civilians and a border police officer.
Wahidullah Mayar, a spokesman for the public health ministry, said a young child was among those injured in the explosion.
The airport was closed for several hours.
Pakistan has historically backed the Taliban and since coming to power last year, President Ghani has sought Islamabad's support in his bid to kick-start peace talks with the militants.
But at a news conference on Monday, he attacked Pakistan.
"The last few days have shown that suicide bomber training camps and bomb-producing factories which are killing our people are as active as before in Pakistan," Mr Ghani said.
"We hoped for peace but we are receiving messages of war from Pakistan. We can no longer see our people bleeding in a war that is exported from outside," he added.
Monday's Taliban attack came after three deadly attacks on Friday that killed at least 50 people.
A suicide bomber blew himself up near the city's police academy on Friday evening, killing about 20 recruits.
A short while later, gunmen launched an attack on Camp Integrity, a Nato base that houses US special forces near the airport.
Eleven people, including an American soldier and eight contractors, were killed in the attack on the base.
Earlier on Friday, a truck carrying explosives was detonated near an army base in the Shah Shahid area of the capital, claiming 15 lives.
The Taliban said it was behind the attack on the police academy but did not mention the two other incidents.
A top UN official said the attacks were likely to be the product of a Taliban power struggle following the death of the group's leader Mullah Omar.
"We suspect the upsurge in violence may be triggered by the succession battle within the Taliban," Nicholas Haysom, the head of the UN mission in Afghanistan, told the BBC on Saturday.
Last week, the Taliban released a video in which they showed members of the group pledging allegiance to the new leader, Mullah Akhtar Mansour.
But analysts suggest there has been infighting within the group between supporters and opponents of Mansour.
The Taliban's announcement that Mullah Omar had died led to a tentative peace process being suspended last week.


An inquest into the deaths of two of the Disappeared victims has heard both young men were shot in the head after the IRA kidnapped them 44 years ago.

The Disappeared were people abducted, murdered and secretly buried by republicans during in the Troubles.
Kevin McKee, 17, and Seamus Wright, 25, went missing from Belfast in October 1972.
Their remains were found together in a single shallow grave in County Meath during a dig in June 2015.
The discovery was made in a bog in Coghalstown by the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains (ICLVR).
On Thursday, the Coroner's Court in Dublin was told the skeletal remains were examined by Irish State Pathologist Professor Marie Cassidy.
She said the results of the post-mortems indicated that both victims had died from gunshot wounds to the head and had been dead for about 40 years.
Geoff Knupfer from the ICLVR told the court that in 1999, the IRA admitted its involvement in the deaths of nine men, including Mr McKee and Mr Wright.
The commission later received information that their bodies had been buried in the Coghalstown area.
Several unsuccessful digs took have taken place in the area since 1999, but their remains were not discovered until last year, during a search for another of the Disappeared, Joe Lynskey.
Mr McKee's sister, Philomena McKee, told the inquest that when the IRA abducted her brother, they had also taken her mother, who later suffered mental health issues.
Mr Wrights's sister, Breige Wright, said her family searched everywhere for him when he disappeared in 1972, including contacting the British army and MPs.
The inquest recorded verdicts of unlawful killing.
The ICLVR has searched for 16 people who were officially listed as the Disappeared.
The remains of 12 of the victims have been recovered and formally identified to date.
After the inquest, both families urged anyone with information about the fate of the remaining four to come forward.


A 51-year-old woman confirmed as one of the victims of the Manchester terror attack was killed as she waited for her friend's children.

Jane Tweddle-Taylor, from Blackpool, was a receptionist at South Shore Academy School in the seaside town.
Ms Tweddle-Taylor had been waiting with her friend, who survived along with her children.
Jane Bailey, principal of South Shore Academy, said she was a "truly wonderful friend and colleague".
"As our receptionist, she was in many ways, the public face of the school and she represented us amazingly in this role," she said.
"We have received numerous messages of condolence from parents, students, community members and colleagues across Blackpool for which we are very grateful.
"All of them say the same things about our lovely Jane... bubbly, kind, welcoming, funny, generous... the list goes on.
"Our thoughts are also with her family at this dreadful time and in particular her three daughters. In our school family and theirs she is irreplaceable, much loved and will never be forgotten."
A two-minute silence is to be held outside Blackpool Town Hall at 12:00 BST on Thursday, where a book of condolence has been opened, to remember Ms Tweddle-Taylor.
Leader of Blackpool Council Simon Blackburn said: "We send our deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Jane, a valued and respected member of staff at South Shore Academy.
"This is an incredibly tragic event and our hearts and prayers are with everyone."
The town hall flag will fly at half-mast all week and Blackpool Tower will be lit up red, white and blue in honour of the victims of the attack, he added.


Lawyers representing the first husband and father of alleged "honour killing" victim Samia Shahid say they will seek to have the case thrown out.

Chaudhry Muhammad Shakeel is accused of murdering the beautician, while her father Chaudhry Muhammad Shahid is being held as an accessory to murder.
The men's lawyers, however, say they will apply to have the case dismissed due to a "complete lack of evidence".
Ms Shahid, 28, from Bradford, died in July in Pakistan.
Live updates and more from across West Yorkshire
Following a court hearing in Jhelum, in the state of Punjab, both men were remanded into custody ahead of their next appearance on 20 October.
The judge ordered that Ms Shahid's second husband Syed Mukhtar Kazim should also appear on that date.
Mr Kazim, who married Ms Shahid in Leeds in 2014 before the couple moved to Dubai in 2015, claims his wife was murdered because her family disapproved of their marriage.
It is thought Ms Shahid had travelled to Pakistan to visit family in the village of Pandori after being told her father was ill.
Her relatives in Pakistan initially said she had suffered a heart attack but a post-mortem examination confirmed she died as a result of being strangled.
