South African pair in 501 stand for Lancashire

LONDON: South African batsmen Ashwell Prince and Alviro Petersen piled on a record 501 runs for the third wicket in Lancashire’s county championship match against Glamorgan. It was the highest partnership for any wicket in the county’s 151year history, and only the 13th time in first-class cricket that any stand passed 500 runs. Glamorgan finally parted the pair when Prince was out for a career-best 261. Petersen, having batted for more than eight hours, then fell six overs later for 286.
