Warwickshire shine under lights
The innovation of day/night Specsavers County Championship cricket delivered enthralling fare at Edgbaston as in-form Lancashire encountered spirited resistance from struggling Warwickshire.
Having chosen to bat, the Red Rose, hunting their third successive win, were bowled out for 273 by a Warwickshire side which has lost four of its six games by an innings this season.
Lancashire hit early trouble at 55-4 but were salvaged by Shivnarine Chanderpaul’s 76th first-class century – a fluent unbeaten 117 from 151 balls with 16 fours.
The 42-year-old dealt adroitly with a pink ball in front of a good crowd.
For the Bears, 19-year-old all-rounder George Panayi made an encouraging debut as he returned figures of 3-41, including the scalp of England Test hopeful Haseeb Hameed.
Warwickshire lost Will Porterfield as they reached 23-1 at stumps.
