Lancashire v Yorkshire (day two): Defending champions in Roses frustration but Lord Hawke record survives

Lancashire’s Jordan Clark and Kyle Jarvis came within two runs of beating their record for the highest 10th-wicket stand in Roses cricket – 108 set on this ground in 1903.

Clark and Jarvis’s stand of 107 from 23.2 overs was a record for Lancashire in this fixture, surpassing the 82 shared by Ian Austin and Peter Martin at Scarborough in 1991.

It helped Lancashire recover from 299-7 overnight to 494, Yorkshire replying with 136-2 at stumps on day two.

Clark hit an unbeaten 84 from 105 balls with eight fours and a six, and Jarvis made 57 from 92 balls with four fours and two sixes.

Both were career-best scores, fashioned during a morning session in which Lancashire leathered 195 in 37.2 overs.

The mayhem began with an eighth-wicket stand of 87 in 13.1 overs between Clark and Arron Lilley after play resumed in cloudy conditions.

It materialised from nowhere, with Lancashire having stumbled from 238-1 on day one to the extent that Yorkshire started day two optimistic of dismissing them for not much more than 300.

As it was, they were taken to the cleaners in a manner not unlike the way in which Middlesex’s tail wagged against them at Scarborough last month.

On that occasion, Middlesex mowed 107 in 9.4 overs on the final morning as the ninth-wicket pair of Toby Roland-Jones and Tim Murtagh ran riot.
