Lancashire got off to a slow but steady start losing their first wicket at 16, skipper Tony Foster caught for 10. Callum Savage, caught for 4, was the last wicket to fall for Lancs with the score on 23. This brought Pat Scott to the crease and he and opener Steve Kenny knocked off the remaining runs in no time with Steve finishing on 16 not out and Pat 19 not out.
