Top drawer
Lancashire 28 for 4 (13 overs). Prince 9, Croft 8.
Woakes has bowled a superb spell, making the batsmen play and moving the ball both ways. Apart from his wickets, the second of which was his 100th in first-class cricket, he has beaten the bat numerous times. Virtually every delivery has posed the batsman a difficult question. Top-drawer seam-bowling.
He has bowled today like Geoff Arnold in his prime.
Sunny but a cold wind.

Fantastic start. Let's hope they can keep the pressure on.
Since taking my jacket off we have not taken a wicket. Bell has placed a man on 45 degrees on the legside for Prince. This is an england tactic which proved fruitful in stopping his flow of runs. Prince is a genuine nice chap,
I think I'd give Trott a couple of overs before lunch - although Imran Tahir's warming up.
