Two pivotal moments on a very long day play finished after 7, first Bairstow dropped on 22 easy catch to Parkinson went onto make 82, secondly Buttler got out in the next to the last over when he and Bailey had put on 80 plus to leave Lancs in with a chance of an imprpabale victory chasing 323 still need 140 but just the tail remain.
Hameed regained some form looked good until nicking one behind for 33, the openers again batted well but this defeat is likely to send us closer to the trap door
