BEEB report
LV= County Championship Division One, Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester (day four):
Warwickshire 371: Benjamin 127, Hain 118 and 239-6 dec: Sibley 57, Hain 48, Benjamin 42
Lancashire 341: Bohannon 170, Vilas 67; Norwell 6-57
Lancashire (12 pts) drew with Warwickshire (12 pts)
England's discarded opener Dom Sibley hit only his third fifty in his last 22 first-class innings as Warwickshire batted out a draw with Lancashire on a dull final day at Old Trafford.
Neither side tried to force a victory as both settled for a draw which leaves the Bears in top spot in Division One and Lancs in second.
After resuming on 52-1, the Bears took up 81 overs to move on to 239-6.
First-innings centurions Sam Hain and Chris Benjamin made runs.
Hain finished on 48, to add to his 118 in the first dig, while Benjamin's 42 gave him an individual match haul of 169 on his County Championship debut - even though it brought to an end his run of 50-plus scores in a Bears shirt.
In only four innings for the Bears, one in the T20 Blast, one in the One-Day Cup and now two in red-ball cricket, the South African discovery from Durham University has now had consecutive knocks of 60*, 50, 127 and 42.
England limited-overs spinner Matt Parkinson finished with 4-94 for a seven-wicket match haul to take him to 31 scalps for the season.
After accruing 21 points to carry over from their group games earlier in the season, the Bears lead the table on 33 points - clear of second-placed Lancashire (28.5) and three-day Wednesday winners Nottinghamshire (28).
Both sides now face a quick three-day turnaround.
The Bears are at home to Hampshire on Sunday, when the Red Rose travel to Trent Bridge to face Nottinghamshire.
