“Lancashire Website descend to absolute farce, announcing the Roses squad over a photo of Rob Jones. Talk about insensitive. Isn’t it about time that people lost their jobs?” They are as unaccountable as, well I’ll let you complete the sentence Chris. Can think of at least two bodies to choose from nationally which are similar. Well done players anyway. <button disabled="" class="c-attachment-insert--linked o-btn--sm">Attachment Deleted </button> |

The run feast continues at Headingley and elsewhere in Div 1 where no side has been bowled out yet.

Tea and still no Div 1 side bowled out though two have declared. Last season in our 15 1st class games we managed to score 9 centuries. This year, if you count 200 as 2 centuries, we have scored ten and it's only our fifth game!

4 day cricket is such fun except on Test grounds
Keaton Jennings completed a superb 238 to record Lancashire’s highest ever individual score in Roses first-class cricket during another dominant day against Yorkshire at Headingley.
The left-handed opener’s third career double century, his second against Yorkshire - the other was for Durham, underpinned his side’s mammoth total of 566 for nine declared on day two of this LV= Insurance County Championship fixture.
Having resumed on an overnight 288 for three from 96 overs, the Red Rose rubbed Yorkshire’s noses in it after they were hurt by a series of dropped catches, including Jennings four times.
Lancashire declared after tea with their highest ever Roses total on the board before Yorkshire reached closed on 53 for two from 22 overs.
Unfortunately for Jennings, he fell just short of the highest individual score for either side in Roses first-class cricket, Darren Lehmann’s 252 here in 2001. But he beat Graham Lloyd’s Lancashire record of 225 in a first-class friendly here four years earlier.
The 29-year-old, who hit 32 fours in 408 balls before being run out, clearly loves batting against Yorkshire.
His previous career best 221 not out came against them for Durham at the Riverside in 2016, added to two other centuries for his current employers last season.
A plethora of centuries have been scored up and down the land at the start of 2022 by county batters young and old. Many will have been spoken about as England possibles for this summer’s Test Matches.
It is likely Jennings, whose last of 17 Tests came in early 2019, will now be the subject of similar speculation following last week’s 110 versus Warwickshire at Emirates Old Trafford, his first innings since last August following calf issues.
He began the day on 150, was particularly strong square of - or behind - the wicket on the off-side with cuts and guides, though also drove handsomely during an innings which spanned nine hours.
Jennings and visiting captain Dane Vilas, who made 82 and with whom he completed a 177 stand for the fourth wicket shortly after lunch, started the day by taking few risks.
Vilas, whose 17th run took him to 10,000 in his first-class career, was the one who upped the tempo before the break.
He pulled Haris Rauf for a huge six over long-leg to reach his fifty and lofted Dom Bess over the ropes much straighter.
The first of them sailed out of the ground over the doubled tiered stand in Headingley’s North East Corner.
Yorkshire at least regained some respectability with four wickets during the afternoon and two after tea.
Off-spinner Bess (three for 151 from 39 overs) led the way and trapped both Vilas and George Balderson lbw and had Phil Salt caught at slip for 37 as Lancashire fell to 504 for seven in the 155th over.
In amongst that, Jennings was sent back by Phil Salt and run out at the non-striker’s end by Jordan Thompson from midwicket.
Tom Loten claimed a superb one-handed return catch to remove Tom Bailey after tea and secure his maiden first-class wicket. He added his second when Luke Wood picked out deep backward square leg for 39, signalling an immediate declaration.
After conceding their third highest first-class score against anyone on this ground, Yorkshire then lost opener Adam Lyth lbw offering no shot to a Bailey in-swinger in the second over of their reply - 11 for one.
Dawid Malan later fell to an excellent diving catch by Matt Parkinson at midwicket off Balderson’s seamers, leaving Yorkshire 48 for two in the 17th.
George Hill and Loten, the nightwatchman, ensured there were no further alarms and reached 15 and three respectively. Jimmy Anderson bowled eight overs across two spells for 27 runs.

Slow progress and it looks like rain may interrupt play tomorrrow. I think Wells should have been given a longer bowl to give Parky a rest. Apparently ECB are supposed to be issuing a new batch of balls to try and rebalance the game.

Lancs have bossed this match but are going to end up with just one point more than Yorks thanks to a featherbed of a pitch. Anderson well below his best.

oe Root’s maiden Roses century - secured with England colleague Jimmy Anderson in opposition - has given Yorkshire a very realistic chance of an LV= Insurance County Championship draw against Lancashire at Headingley.
The 31-year-old has slotted seamlessly back into county cricket having resigned as England’s Test captain last month, posting 75 in a draw at Essex last week added to this serene 147 off 218 balls.
Yorkshire, replying to a first-innings 566 for nine declared, are aiming to extend their unbeaten start to 2022 to a fifth game and started the day on 53 for two from 22 overs.
At close, they had reached 356 for eight from 118 overs, 210 behind and 61 short of the follow-on target
Root, whose previous Roses best was 22 in six innings, shared 154 for the sixth wicket from late morning to midway through the evening with Harry Duke, the young wicketkeeper who made a dogged 40.
He also shared 66 for the fifth wicket in as many balls with Harry Brook, who continued his red hot form with 41.
Tom Bailey and Matt Parkinson stood out with three wickets apiece for Lancashire, the latter getting Root caught at slip late in the day to open up the prospect of a third Red Rose win.
Brook played superbly during his 33-ball innings.
While it was the only period in the day when Lancashire’s bowlers erred, Brook drove with supreme confidence in an innings more eye-catching than Root’s.
It may have only been a morning cameo, though it screamed, ‘I’m the best county batter in the country at present’.
The 23-year-old, however, missed out on joining Geoffrey Boycott, Darren Lehmann and Anthony McGrath in posting seven successive fifties for Yorkshire. But he took his tally of Division One runs to 676 and averages a smidgeon over 135.
It would be a major surprise if he does not make his England Test debut during the next couple of months.
If he does, he will line up alongside former national captain Root.
He was far more understated but no less confident in the Leeds sunshine and faced Anderson (one for 83 from 24 overs) on a pitch still good for batting though showing signs of some uneven bounce.
Root clipped his England colleague to fine leg for his first boundary and edged him wide of the slips for another on the way to a pre-lunch fifty off 73 balls.
Shortly after the break, he caressed a drive against him through the covers for another boundary as Yorkshire moved to 182 for five.
The morning yielded three wickets for the Red Rose, claimed by Bailey, Anderson and Parkinson.
Excellent Bailey had nightwatchman Tom Loten lbw with a looping slower ball, Anderson gave opener Hill (25) a working over with the short ball and had him caught at midwicket off a miscued pull and Parkinson bowled an advancing Brook as the score fell to 134 for five after 41 overs of the innings.
Root, in the seventies, edged Luke Wood between keeper and slip before pushing onto three figures, achieved off 150 balls in the dying embers of the afternoon with a worked single to leg off Parkinson (three for 79 from 34 overs).
Yorkshire batted through the afternoon unbeaten, reaching tea at 251 for five.
Root also swept and reverse swept with authority against the leg-spin of Parkinson.
His sixth-wicket partner, Duke, dropped anchor at the other end before being bowled trying to scoop Parkinson as the score fell to 288 for six in the 101st over.
Parkinson later had Root caught at slip - trying to work to leg - as the score fell to 331 for eight in the 113th to lift significantly lift determined Lancashire.
