Several records tumbled at Colwyn Bay as Lancashire pair Ashwell Prince and Alviro Petersen racked up a 501-run partnership against Glamorgan.
The score is the third highest for a third-wicket partnership in cricket history, the highest ever partnership for Lancashire and the highest partnership in a match against Glamorgan.
Prince was eventually dismissed for 261 from 258 balls which included 35 fours and seven sixes, while Petersen scored 286 from 376 balls, also with 35 fours and two sixes.
The duo were both dismissed by David Lloyd (3-164) but the pain was not over for Glamorgan as Lancashire captain Steven Croft (57 not out off 51 balls) and James Faulkner (21 off 19 balls) added quick runs before the visitors declared on 698-5.
Veteran seamer Glen Chapple then took 3-28 as Glamorgan, who need a huge 549 simply to avoid the follow-on, were reduced to 165-6 at stumps.
