Lancashire flop on Flintoff's return

Andrew Flintoff's return from injury was overshadowed by a poor batting display from Lancashire as they were dismissed for a paltry 116 by Durham in the LV County Championship Division One clash at Chester-le-Street.

Flintoff took two wickets in the morning session to add to his two from Thursday to finish Durham's first innings with figures of four for 47 as the hosts compiled 244.

Lancashire's hopes of matching that were dismissed by Graham Onions and Steve Harmison. Harmison took four for 28 and Onions finished with four for 40, although Durham then made a disastrous start to their second innings, closing on 122 for six after initially losing four wickets for just 10 runs.

Former England bowler Matthew Hoggard was among the wickets as he claimed five victims for Yorkshire against Somerset at Headingley.

Hoggard took five for 56 as Yorkshire bowled Somerset out for 230 in reply to the home side's 277. At stumps the hosts were 26 for one in their second innings.

Jimmy Adams top-scored with 112 as Hampshire made 287 for nine against Nottinghamshire at the Rose Bowl.

Hampshire got off to a good start in their reply to the visitors' 326 and with Adams hitting 20 fours, they had reached 185 for two before suffering a late collapse thanks largely to Samit Patel, who finished with figures of five for 77.

Michael Yardy hit a century as Sussex moved past Worcestershire's first innings total at New Road. Yardy made 152 in Sussex's 409 for five in reply to Worcestershire's 288 all out, before becoming one of Chris Whelan's three wickets.

Usman Afzaal was unbeaten on 156 at the close of play as Surrey gained the upper hand against Northamptonshire. The home side had made 209 all out in the Division Two clash at Northampton and Surrey were 422 for seven.

Captain Jamie Dalrymple led Glamorgan's hopes with a century against Derbyshire as the visitors closed on 225 for six in reply to the home side's first innings total of 307. Dalrymple was unbeaten on 105, with Tom Lungley, Graham Wagg and Greg Smith taking two wickets each.
