County Championship: Lancashire top table after smashing Surrey

Lancashire moved top of Specsavers County Championship Division One after crushing Surrey by an innings and 96 runs at Emirates Old Trafford.

Kyle Jarvis (35) and Simon Kerrigan (32no) took their final-wicket partnership to 63 on Tuesday morning as Lancashire reached 394 all out to fashion a first-innings lead of 203.

Surrey, shorn of opener Rory Burns after he was hit while fielding on Monday, then slumped to 107 all out as Jarvis (5-49) ended with 11 wickets in the match following his first-innings six-for.

Makeshift opener Tom Curran top-scored with 53, while top-order partner Arun Harinath (16) was the only other batsman to reach double figures, Kumar Sangakkara (8) and Jason Roy (9) two players to fall cheaply as Surrey lost their final eight wickets for 45 runs.

Lancashire have won three of their five matches this term but fellow newly-promoted outfit Surrey are languishing towards the foot of the standings following three defeats and three draws.

Warwickshire will leapfrog Lancashire if they beat Durham at Edgbaston but the Bears are in danger of slipping to defeat to the North East county.

Durham, blitzed by England hopeful Chris Woakes' career-best 9-36 on Monday, dismissed the home side for 114 - James Weighell taking a first career five-for, including the wicket of Ian Bell (15).

Keaton Jennings (88no) then shared an opening stand of 67 with Mark Stoneman (23) before Chris Wright's four-wicket salvo saw Paul Collingwood's men slip to 87-4 chasing 238 for victory.

However, Jennings and Collingwood (26no) dug in during an unbeaten stand of 67 as Durham closed on 154-4, needing just another 84 runs to record their second win of the campaign.

Riki Wessels scored a gritty 72 for Nottinghamshire at Hampshire but the Trent Bridge side were skittled for 189 to trail by 81 - Chris Read unable to resume his knock after being struck on the hand on Monday.

Hampshire reached 189-8 by the end of day three, a lead of 270, with Will Smith hitting 61 and Harry Gurney taking four wickets for Nottinghamshire.

Sam Robson, meanwhile, fell an agonising one run short of his fourth Championship century at Lord's in as many innings as he was bowled for 99 for Middlesex against Somerset.

However, the 26-year-old - who notched centuries at HQ against Warwickshire (231 and 106) and Nottinghamshire (114no) - a first Championship century for Nick Gubbins (106) and Paul Stirling's 85 helped Middlesex trump the visitors' 376, Adam Voges' men closing on 407-9.
