Lancashire surprisingly exercised their option to field first on a pitch expected to turn as the match progresses.

Trescothick, dropped before he had scored, progressed to 25 before falling lbw to Tom Bailey.

George Bartlett had made only three when leg-before moving across his stumps to Kyle Jarvis and Hildreth was bowled off an inside edge by Ryan McLaren, having progressed effortlessly to 25.
