11.32am Well, that was brutal and unrelenting. Will Rhodes alone scored twice as many as Lancashire managed in their first-innings 78. And the lead is a gulp-inducing 440. Blatherwick and Parkinson kept their heads above water with seven wickets between them. But this contest is surely cooked. Over to Matt Roller for the beginning of the end?
