Back into championship action and Durham went joint top of the table, albeit having played more matches than anyone else, with a thrashing of struggling Lancashire at Old Trafford. Durham were asked to bat under leaden skies and with a poor forecast for the day. Durham batted with grim determination in challenging conditions over 5 sessions for their 438, with all top five batsmen selling their wicket dearly. With 26 overs left on day 2, Durham released the hounds. The bowlers went on a rampage and demonstrated how well the batsmen had coped with the conditions. By close of play Lancashire 66-5. Resuming on day 3, Lancs subsided to 119 all out. With a full 5 sessions left in the match, Collingwood opted not to enforce the follow on and his team amassed 135-3 before the declaration came at the tea interval. The bowlers combined again to good effect as Lancs were bowled out for 245 to end a dismal match for the hosts.
