Match scorecard

An unbeaten partnership of 164 between Lancashire openers Luke Wells and Keaton Jennings saw the hosts regain a semblance of control on day two of their County Championship Division One match with Somerset at Southport.

Wells will resume the third day on the rather precipitous score of 99 not out while Jennings is unbeaten on 61, with just five wickets falling throughout the three sessions of another fine day of cricket on the Sefton coast.

The Red Rose fightback came after the visitors were dismissed midway through the afternoon session for 446 with Roelof Van Der Merwe contributing a valuable half-century along with useful runs from Lewis Gregory and Jack Brooks.

Somerset resumed on…
