Good effort by Lancs to reduce Somerset to 213-7 in 94 overs, but the pitch was the only winner. A career best 5-69 off 35 overs for excellent Jack Morley, while Lewis Goldsworthy scored a gutsy 73no to add to his 1st innings century, his efforts putting some of his more experienced teammates to shame.

Meanwhile Surrey scored 228-6 to beat Yorkshire with 3 balls remaining, an incredible win given they conceded 521 in the 1st innings. County cricket at its best, and the Lancs game was pretty good too. By my reckoning Surrey have 165 pts, Hants 150 and Lancs 3rd with 137.

Pointless having pitches like that. I'd blame S&B for wanting to get 4 days beer revenue but the truth is that Lancashire had total say in the preperation of the pitch..

Need him to reignite his batting form, but Buttler looked good from a captaincy perspective yesterday

Yes, not completing three innings in four days says it all really.

However, Surrey had a similar pitch to contend with at Scarborough and still managed to win, although the overcast weather helped the ball to swing on the last day. Even so it was the sort of victory that wins championships. Theirs to lose now.
