SURREY’S THIRD successive County Championship title was confirmed when Lancashire took just 32 minutes and 7.1 overs on the fourth morning to complete their 168run victory over Somerset at Old Trafford.
Resuming on 204-6, Somerset were dismissed for 224 with Luke Wells taking two of the wickets to finish with 4-36 and Anderson Phillip the other two to finish with 3-81.
While the result ends Somerset’s hopes of a breakthrough County Championship title, it still means that Lancashire are favourites to be relegated after next week’s round of matches.
