Venkatesh Iyer's attacking cameo comes to an end after he makes room to cut Liam Dawson but bottom edges onto his stumps to depart for 35.
4.40pm

Venkatesh Iyer has continued to attack when possible launching Kyle Abbott for four with a lofted square drive and he's moved on to 35 off just 26 balls, quite a contrast to what has gone before.

We saw two contrasting styles in that twenty minutes before tea with George Balderson dropping an anchor for 20 deliveries while Venkatesh Iyer has thumped a six and two fours in making 22 off 14 balls.

Lancashire 2nd inns (following-on) 88-6 Balderson 0 Iyer 0 trail by 101 runs.

It had gone pretty quiet out in the middle but James Fuller returns to snare George Bell for 21 from an inside edge onto his thigh pad that balloons up to Fletcha Middleton at short leg.

Nick Gubbins brought on to bowl some leg spin and 11 runs come from the over as both batters help themselves to a boundary.

Lancashire 2nd inns (following-on) 59-4 Wells 41 Bell 8 trail by 129 runs.
Luke Wells (41 off 126 balls) and George Bell (8 off 36) are mounting a determined rearguard action to stave off defeat, and Hampshire are now giving Tom Prest the opportunity to bowl his off breaks.
It's slow going - the 59 runs scored have come from 46 overs.

12.35pm
Lancashire 2nd inns (following-on) 19-2 Wells 16 Flintoff 0 trail by 170 runs.
No surprise, given his first innings performance, that Liam Dawson is into the visitor's attack early and presumably hoping to find some bounce while the Kookaburra ball is hard.
