County Championship: Surrey bowl out Lancashire for 202 on day two

Cameron Steel took his first five-wicket haul in first-class cricket

Cam Steel and Dan Lawrence both returned career-best figures as defending champions Surrey dismissed Lancashire for 202 on an extraordinary day of the Division One County Championship match at Emirates Old Trafford.

The two leg-spinners engineered a collapse that saw the home side lose their last eight wickets for 52 runs in 18 overs, Steel finishing with 5-25 and Lawrence 4-91 from 28 overs which were bowled from the James Anderson End.

Included in Lawrence's bag was the wicket of Josh Bohannon, whose 155-ball 84 had threatened to dominate the day, but once he had been removed, Lancashire's later batters had no answer to the visiting spinners.

Surrey were 11-0 after five overs at close of play with two of the overs being bowled by Australian Test off-spinner Nathan Lyon, who had earlier been one of two home batters to make a first-ball duck.

Day one was washed out due to rain and the morning session was lost again to a wet outfield, meaning the game finally got under way at 13:10 BST and it was hardly surprising that Surrey inserted their hosts on a pitch that had been under covers for most of two days.

The first wicket to fall was that of Lancashire skipper, Keaton Jennings, who became Lawrence's first victim for his new county when the leg-spinner clung on to a fierce straight drive low to his left.

George Balderson partnered Bohannon to tea when Lancashire were 101-2 after 36 overs.

Bohannon reached 4,000 runs for Lancashire when a single off Lawrence took him to 76.

However, the course of the match was transformed in the 56th over when Balderson was bowled for 21 by Steel's fifth ball of the day.

Five overs later, Lawrence had Bohannon caught for a well-made 84 by Jamie Smith.

Lancashire debutant Tom Bruce became Lawrence's fourth victim and Steel continued the rampage when he had Tom Aspinwall caught at slip and Tom Bailey snaffled at cover.

Steel then dismissed Will Williams and Lyon to complete a memorable day for the all-rounder.
