County Championship: Join Tanya Aldred for updates from around the ground on day three of the latest round of matches.

That net practise ...forget it. Hassan out for a duck , nicely picked up by Simon Harmer at second slip. Lancs 60-8.

Wicket number seven at Old Trafford, a beauty from Sam Cook who currently has 4-15. Hassan Ali was sent to the nets yesterday evening - let’s see what he can do.

Shan Masood has done a Bradman, a three-ball duck. You bastard, Broady. Derbys 3-1.

Azhar Ali finally goes for 225, D’Oliveira was a fourth wicket for Mulder, lbw for 54: time for Barnard to swing the bat and Leicestershire to pray for rain. Worcs 497-5, a lead of 349.

Wood takes one drive too many and is caught by Rossington - but a useful half an hour at the crease and some morale-boosting boundaries. Lancs 57-6.

Notts are all out, losing their last three wickets for 24, both Conners and Potts (a different one) picking up four wickets. Let’s see if new look Derbyshire can bat this one out against the Division Two favourites. Shan Masood needs another 156 in this innings to reach the thousand barrier.

Apparently in that game in 2012, which Lancs lost by 205 runs, Lancs only escaped having their pitch reported by a whisker. It was the first year of the turned pitch and it turned out to be, how shall we put this, quite conducive to spin. Steven Croft took six for 41 in the second innings but Moeen Ali trumped him with six for 29.

Lancashire’s lowest total this century is 63 against Worcestershire, in 2012. And their lowest score against Essex is 70.

Jamie Porter is looking tricky in his first game of the season. Can anyone enlighten me BTL - has he been injured? Wood loses a ball into the building site.
