Good morning from Stanley Park as on a gloriously sunny morning in Blackpool ahead of the second day of this Vitality County Championship match against Durham.
The current ground conditions are excellent and we are set to start on time at 11am when Lancashire will resume their first innings on 350 for nine with Saqib Mahmood on 40 - his highest first-class innings for Lancashire - alongside Nathan Lyon who is 5 not out.
There was a lot of interest in how Ben Stokes would perform on his return but Keaton Jennings stole the show with a fabulous century.
No doubt attention today will be on a potential Stokes v Lyon contest.
Here's yesterday's match report.
