12.15pm
Worcestershire 2nd inns 47-1, Lategan 14 Roderick 0 lead by 36 runs
Somewhat ironically, we are playing in some of the nicest weather of the match, with blue skies and warmer conditions. Having lost 124 overs so far in the match, we are effectively still playing on a day two wicket that is still offering the bowlers assistance.
And Jimmy Anderson strikes, Jake Libby edging one that appeared to keep a bit low and was well caught by Matty Hurst low down to his right.

Worcestershire 2nd inns 36-0, Lategan 14 Libby 18 lead by 25 runs

James Anderson and Tom Bailey have got the ball past the bat a few times already but so far the batters have survived a testing opening.

James Anderson with the opening over which is a maiden.
11.10am LANCASHIRE DECLARE
Play is starting at 11.30am with 8 overs lost, and Lancashire have declared on their overnight score of 281-8, leading Worcestershire by 11 runs.
10.45am DELAYED START
The rain has relented and the groundstaff are taking the covers off and mopping up. I don't think it will be a long delay and best guess is we might get going as soon as 11.30am.
10.35am
The rain has got heavier in the last few minutes, so a delayed start looks inevitable. The groundstaff have now fully covered the square so their mopping up operation will take some time once the rain relents.
10.15am
The sunny weather from 9.30am has been replaced by a squally shower that has prompted the groundstaff to put the covers on.
9.30am
We have a bright,sunny morning at Trafalgar Road ahead of the final day of this Rothesay County Championship match with Worcestershire.
Tom Hartley (22 not out) and Tom Bailey will resume Lancashire's first innings at 11am.
Paul Coughlin's record-breaking innings was probably the highlight of day three. You can catch up on that via our match report on the red button below.
