Day Three

Morning: No play possible due to rain.

Afternoon: After five consecutive sessions washed out, with over 1,100 gallons of rainwater pumped off the outfield, there was finally a couple of hours play after two o'clock, and Joe Leach struck early to dismiss Keaton Jennings. That breakthrough was followed up by Wayne Parnell, who in his very first over took two wickets in two balls to remove both Alex Davies and Rob Jones and leave Lancs 32-3. However, the partnership that followed carried the visitors safely through to tea.

Evening: Lancashire reached 110-3 before bad light set in, and when the rain began again, it didn't let up.

Match DRAWN

The Verdict: The best possible outcome from Worcestershire's point of view, after yet another nightmare with the bat and inconsistent showing with the ball. Too many players simultaneously out of nick, and it doesn't bode well for next week's trip to Sussex.
