339-5 at the close. Vilas superb, well supported by Davies and Jones, playing as fluently as I've seen him. Jones threw it away with a premeditated reverse sweep off what turned out to be a dreadful full-toss.
One of Bohannon, Croft and Jones will likely be left out when Wells is fit so felt a bit sorry for Bohannon having to face the new ball, while Jones came in when it was a lot easier. Jennings got Lancs off to their traditional start by giving slip a bit of catching practice, edging 4 through them and then a familiar angled bat to nick one into the fielders hands.
Robinson bowled well with the new ball, and Hunt showed why Sussex nicked him from Surrey - raw and promising. Robinson took two big wickets and when you add in his batting exploits (59) - he's been a bit of a star for them. Garton disappointing and Meaker was Meaker. Carson showed no threat, was hammered all over the place but did manage to fluke a wicket. Spinners and April wickets aren't a good mix anyway but Jack looked a little boy lost.
Overall, similar day to yesterday with batting becoming a lot easier when the shine goes off the ball.
