Lancashire’s Paul Coughlin made the fastest fifty in the 49-match history of first-class cricket at Southport but his county’s game against Worcestershire seems likely to end in a draw.
Coughlin hit four sixes and four fours to reach his half-century in 36 balls and his 61, which included another maximum, helped the home side reach 281 for eight in reply to their opponents’ 270 at the end of a day which concluded with a four-over session starting at 6.25.
That brief period of play ended in dramatic fashion when Coughlin was lbw to Tom Taylor’s last ball of the day but by then his 62-run stand with Tom Hartley had earned Lancashire an 11-run lead.
