County Championship: 318 for Keaton Jennings as Lancashire take wide lead over Somerset
LV= Co Unty Championship Division One, Trafalgar Road, Southport (Day Three) Somerset 446: Goldsworthy 130, Rew 70; Williams 3-85 Lancashire 624-9: Jennings 318, Wells 109, Bohannon 91; Van der Merwe 5-174, Renshaw 3-29 (3 pts) by 178 pointsMatch scorecard
After Luke Wells quickly moved into triple digits from his overnight score of 99, before going out for 109, the target for the day became Jennings.
Helped by 91 from Josh Bohannon, they dominated the visitors' increasingly erratic bowling to post 624-9, an overnight lead of 178.
Becoming only Lancashire's sixth triple centurion in their history, Jennings' 318 was the fourth highest of any Lancashire player in their history and equaled the highest tally in English cricket since Sean Dickson also hit 318 for Kent against Northants in July 2017.
Surpass Jason Ga llian's 312 against Derbyshire at Old Trafford in 1996 as the county's previous best home score, it was the highest score by any Lancashire player since Neal Fairbrother's 366 against Surrey at The Oval in 1990. /p>
Wells celebrated his second century of the season early in the day, but soon returned to the clubhouse after edging out Jack Brooks to wicketkeeper Steven Davies.
Bohannon has had a tough time these of late, but he proved superb in a partnership second wicket of 211 - a record in itself on Trafalgar Road - before being beaten nine of his century by Roelof van der Merwe.
Steven Croft ran a no-limit 25 before being caught by Brooks off Van der Merwe, then skipper Dane Vilas came on and walked away cheaply after playing on the Somerset spinner.
