MATCH REPORT: No play at Southport on day two<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Today’s report brought to you by C&C Insurance<\/p>\n

Rain prevented any play taking place on the second day of our Rothesay County Championship match at Southport & Birkdale Cricket Club today.<\/p>\n

The rain arrived just after ten o\u2019clock and fell steadily throughout the morning to bring an early lunch at 12.30pm.<\/p>\n

After a brief lull, heavier rain from just before 2pm left the umpires no choice but to abandon play for the day at 3pm.<\/p>\n

Hopefully conditions will improve tomorrow to allow Lancashire to resume their first innings on 28-0, with Keaton Jennings (10 not out) and George Balderson (17 not out), in reply to Worcestershire\u2019s first innings total of 270 all out.<\/p>\n
