from 15.1 overs, while Jack Brooks added four in the innings and nine in the match.

Lancashire will be mightily frustrated at letting a position of strength in this game slip, and they have not won a Roses Championsh­ip match since 2011 - a run of eight fixtures, of which Yorkshire have won five.

At the end of day one, Lancashire were 105 without loss replying to Yorkshire’s firstinnin­gs 209. From then on, the White Rose dominated the game on the way to a fourth win from 12 in Division One this season.

Having started their chase of 230 immediatel­y after tea on day three, Lancashire had reached 66-2 before slipping into disarray at 95-7.

Coad claimed four for 14 from 10 overs, including his second, third and fourth scalps in an eight-ball spell.

That left Josh Bohannon and Keshav Maharaj with a mountain with an unenviable task at the start of day four.

Maharaj crashed the first ball of the day from Coad for four through the covers, but he fell in the fourth over of the morning when bowled by Brooks for 18, leaving Lancashire at 122-8 in the 42nd. Brooks claimed his fourth wicket of the innings when he bowled Graham Onions at the end of the 48th over before Coad wrapped things up by getting Bohannon sharply caught at mid-wicket by Tim Bresnan at the second attempt at the start of the 49th two wickets in two balls. SURREY have won the County Championsh­ip for the first time since 2002 after beating Worcesters­hire by three wickets.

Led by 66 from captain Rory Burns, the top run-scorer in domestic first-class cricket, Surrey chased 272 to seal the title with two games to play.

The England hopeful shared 111 with Mark Stoneman (59) for the first wicket to put them in command at New Road.

Worcesters­hire, bottom of Division One, fought back with three wickets before lunch but Ollie Pope’s 49 helped the visitors home. FORMER England all-rounder Paul Collingwoo­d has announced he will retire from ALL forms of the game after Durham’s final game of the County Championsh­ip season.

Collingwoo­d amassed 16,891 runs and 164 wickets in 304 first-class appearance­s.
