Ashwell Prince hits century as Lancashire complete big win over Leicestershire
Tuesday 16 June 2015 20:29, UK
Ashwell Prince, Arron Lilley and Kyle Jarvis starred as Lancashire wrapped up a three-day win over Leicestershire by an innings and 157 runs.
Prince completed a fourth century of the season during a morning session which saw Lancashire score 169 runs in 29 overs to advance their first innings from 314 for four to 483 all out.
The veteran South African moved from 74 not out overnight to 104 off 171 balls, while off-spinner Arron Lilley's 59 off 41 marked his second successive fifty after one against Derbyshire at Southport last month.
Lilley then took three wickets in 13 balls shortly before tea as Leicestershire, faced with a first-innings deficit of 276, slumped to 90 for six inside 32 overs. He finished with four for 28 from 15 overs.
The visitors were bowled out for 119 inside 49 overs as Jarvis finished with five for 44 from 15.4.
Derbyshire crashed to an innings and 31 run defeat in their division two clash against Essex despite a fighting century from Wayne Madsen on Tuesday.
After trailing by 325 runs on first innings, the visitors were bowled out for 294 with their last six wickets going down for the addition of just 33 runs at Chelmsford.
Madsen and Chesney Hughes did provide hope of carrying the game into a final day during a third-wicket partnership that produced that 166 in 43 overs but it was not to be.
They had come together after Jamie Porter had removed Ben Slater and Billy Godleman in his first three overs.
Graham Wagg (116 not out) has led a Glamorgan fightback against Surrey but the visitors remain some way off the pace set at Guildford by the home side's first innings.
Wagg and Mark Wallace (92) put on 152 for the seventh wicket after an initial slump to 106-6. Wagg has progressed but the departure of David Lloyd (18) means the deficit is 83 runs with only two Glamorgan wickets remaining.
Surrey were bowled out for 406 in the morning, Zafar Ansari falling lbw to Michael Hogan without adding to his overnight 91 but Tom Curran hitting 45 off 49 balls, Gary Wilson making 38 not out, and Chris Tremlett adding a breezy 29.
