Worcestershire skipper Brett D’Oliveira and all-rounder Matthew Waite shared an unbroken stand of 97 to ensure their side drew their Rothesay County Championship match against Lancashire.

The pair came together with the visitors on 114 for five in the second innings, giving them a lead of 103 in mid-afternoon, when there were still 44 overs in the game.

But they defied an attack led by James Anderson, whose figures of two for 27 from 15 overs did him no sort of justice, and the draw was certain long before the players shook hands with Worcestershire on 211 for five, with D’Oliveira on 46 not out and Waite unbeaten on 47.
