108-5 at the close have the feeling there will be little or no play tomorrow.

Anderson really is something looked every bit the class act he is. Everything on the money. They have some international batsmen and highly rated younger guys but none of them had an answer to that spell.
We watch our batsmen hitting the field and getting singles for a month and then when we really don't want it they start playing the big shots!
What were Wells and Vilas thinking? It wasn't a bad pitch later on. Need to get a reasonable lead.

Worth the four hour wait to see Jimmy get his 1000th and his career best figures and then give him a standing ovation with the crowd.
Nice that it happened with Lancs at OT and when bowling from "his" end. His action looks so effortless and you know that a wicket will come and they did one after another. I think if Bailey had been bowling - don't know why he wasn't picked - might have bowled them out for less.
Pity our batsmen have struggled to take advantage.....

The official site says he has suffered a back problem. It also says Mahmood is easing himself in gradually; emphasising I suppose that he has only been bowling four over spells in recent weeks. |

Due to a Covid outbreak in the England Squad they now need a new squad so, from this game, Parkinson and Crawley are withdrawn with immediate effect. Mahmood is to join them. They will likely miss the our next T20 and the Yorkshire game as well.
Umpires will inspect 11.30...

Lancashire 108 for 5 (Davies 47) lead Kent 74 (Anderson 7-19) by 34 runs
History was made during an astonishing afternoon of cricket at Emirates Old Trafford as Lancashire's James Anderson claimed both his 1,000th first class wicket and his best career bowling figures of 7 for 19.
Anderson's exploits ensured Kent were dismissed for just 74 in a shade over two hours after the players finally took to the field at 2pm on the second day, following almost incessant rain throughout the first four sessions of the game.
Taking the new ball Anderson, 38, took a wicket in each of his first three overs, before adding four more as Kent's top order were blown away in an extraordinary spell from the Burnley-born bowler, whose previous best figures were his 7 for 42 for England against West Indies in 2017.
The wickets of Zak Crawley, edging to Rob Jones at second slip without scoring, Jordan Cox, edging to Luke Wells at first slip for 1 and Ollie Robinson, feathering one through to wicketkeeper Dane Vilas for 0, were near-identical examples of Anderson's mastery of seam bowling, and reduced Kent to 5 for 3.
Jack Leaning became Anderson's 999th victim when he edged to Jones for 2 before the stage was set for South African Heino Kuhn to become England's leading Test wicket taker's 1,000th scalp, 19 years after Surrey's Ian Ward became his first.
Typically, Anderson didn't stop there, taking his sixth wicket with the dismissal of Matt Milnes in his next over for 1 as Vilas claimed another catch after Danny Lamb spoilt Anderson's chances of a 10-for by trapping Joe Denly in front for 12.
Anderson's seventh wicket arrived in the 17th over with Vilas taking his fourth catch off the veteran bowler to dismiss Harry Podmore for 3. That left Kent 34 for 8 and looking every inch a side without a win in the LV= Insurance County Championship this season.
Only 45-year-old Darren Stevens offered any kind of resistance, bashing four boundaries in his knock of 19 before Lamb had him caught at mid-off with the same bowler also accounting for James Logan who became the last wicket to fall for 11.
Both Lamb's 3 for 16 and Vilas' five catches were of course overshadowed by Anderson's efforts and he received a standing ovation from the ecstatic crowd as he walked off as only the 13th Lancashire bowler to complete the feat of 1,000 first-class wickets and becoming the first fast bowler to do it since Ken Higgs in 1968, and the first of any Red Rose bowler since Jack Simmons in 1988.
With many observers still confused by Kent's decision to bat first, Lancashire's openers entered the fray after tea and quickly looked like they were playing a different game.
Alex Davies was his usual busy self, scampering singles and hitting five fours and a six in his 43-ball 47 as he compiled an opening stand of 64 with Keaton Jennings before mistiming a cut shot off Matt Quinn through to Jordan Cox at first slip.
More late drama was to follow as Jennings and Luke Wells fell in consecutive balls to Quinn and Milnes, with Vilas departing soon after to Stevens before Josh Bohannon was bowled by Kent debutant Logan to leave the hosts 108 for 5 at the close.

At least the current dismal situation should all but guarantee our place in the top section of the championship.
With all the time lost we will surely find it difficult to lose to Kent, so even if we don’t score many more runs we would pick up 11 points.
Northants, on a turning pitch, might struggle to score the 206 needed to beat the Yorkies which would mean just 3 bowling points.
A 24 point margin in our favour then as the last round starts.
