England wicketkeeper Ben Foakes hit an unbeaten century to set up Surrey’s pursuit of victory over Lancashire on day three at Old Trafford.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Having bowled out the hosts for 291 – with five wickets for Sean Abbott – the champions did not enforce the follow-on.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Foakes scored at more than a run a ball to end on 103 not out, allowing his side to declare on 292-6, a lead of 443.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Lancashire made it through to the close at 37-0.<\/span><\/p>\n

The home side’s final two wickets added 58 in the morning session with New Zealand all-rounder Colin de Grandhomme undefeated on 67 on debut.<\/span><\/p>\n

He put on 81 with Will Williams (30) for the ninth wicket before Abbott’s first ball of the morning had Williams lbw as the Australia finished with 5-50.<\/span><\/p>\n

When last man Matt Parkinson (5) was bowled by Dan Worrall, Lancashire were two runs short of the follow-on target but had shown that the pitch was still good.<\/span><\/p>\n

Burns made 54 at the top of the order but Surrey kept losing wickets to slow their momentum.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Cameron Steel was bowled by Parkinson for 31 after tea – the leg-spinner’s fifth wicket – they were 227-6, leading by 378.<\/span><\/p>\n

But having been joined by Jordan Clark, Foakes hit the accelerator as he raced towards a century.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was eventually reached off 93 balls with 12 fours and a six thanks to a superb sweep off Parkinson.<\/span><\/p>\n

To go with his first innings 76, it was another nudge towards the England selectors about his qualities with the bat as he battles with Jonny Bairstow for a spot in the Ashes this summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

One thing not in doubt is how much the 30-year-old likes batting at Old Trafford, with 292 runs in his last three innings following an unbeaten 113 against South Africa here last summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

With his century complete, skipper Burns waved them in, but their bowlers could not find a breakthrough in the 11 overs they had at openers Luke Wells and Keaton Jennings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lancashire require a nominal 407 more, although Parkinson with his 5-120 showed there is some turn in the wicket, as Surrey chase the 10 wickets needed to begin their title defence with a victory.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
