Warwickshire win by an innings and 199 runs with five sessions to spare
Liam Norwell and Danny Briggs take three wickets each for the Bears as Lancashire are all out for 241
George Balderson top scores for the Red Rose county with 65
Lancashire avoid heaviest defeat by another county by one run
Lancashire 78 & 202-7 v Warwickshire 518
Tom Bailey brings up the 200 with a thumping drive off Manraj Johal. It feels worthy of mentioning after their dismal first innings effort.
A few more shots like that and Lancashire will avoid their worst ever innings defeat.

Quote MessageWe've been going on about 'should we be playing in October?' Well, we are - and Warwickshire have been fantastic."
Lancashire 78 & 197-7 v Warwickshire 518
Liam Norwell comes on at the Pavilion End and he really bends his back to extract some bounce from the pitch. One more effort this morning before a well deserved holiday!
There is a brief delay to the proceedings as a helmet is thrown down from the Warwickshire dressing room to bring in a short leg.
Norwell keeps Rob Jones honest, but the batter picks up a couple of runs.

Quote MessageIt's been a brilliant summer of cricket. The domestic game has been showcased magnificently."
Lancashire 78 & 195-7 v Warwickshire 518
Image source, PA MediaWell bowled Manraj Johal!
He squares Luke Wood up twice in the over, and then goes past the outside edge. Winning on points, Johal delivers the knockout blow by hitting the leg stump with an excellent full in-swinging delivery.

Quote MessageTom Bailey is in and out on that Lancashire balcony. I don't think he's a good watcher."
Lancashire 78 & 187-6 v Warwickshire 518
Rob Jones gets off the mark with a nice clip off his legs for four.
Then Luke Wood sends another one to the boundary with a powerful shot through midwicket. He's reached 25 from only 20 balls.
If he sticks around, we could have some fun this morning.

Debate in the 5 live sports extra commentary box.
Ian Bell wonders whether it would be possible for the Bob Willis Trophy could become a Championship title decider in which the top two teams contest a final like Australia's Sheffield Shield.
Alex Hartley, meanwhile, suggests that the County Championship could simply be re-named the Bob Willis Trophy.

Lancashire 78 & 175-6 v Warwickshire 518
Image source, PA MediaCraig Miles completes the two balls of his over by jagging one sharply over the top of Rob Jones' stumps.
Manraj Johal now to bowl from the Nursery End to Luke Wood. And the youngster extracts some bounce from his first ball to hit Wood in the ribs. Good morning Luke!
Johal then nips one past Wood's bat with an absolute beauty. This 19-year-old from West Bromwich and Dartmouth Cricket Club has a lot of promise.
Good response from Wood as he crashes the last ball of the over for four.
Lancashire 78 & 171-6 v Warwickshire 518
Rob Jones and Luke Wood have walked to the middle. Craig Miles to bowl.
Is this going to be short and sweet for Warwickshire or are Lancashire going to show reserves of steel not seen over the first three days?

Lancashire 78 & 171-6 v Warwickshire 517 - play starts 10:30
So the county cricket season has reached October.
But even if the Bob Willis Trophy final has to go into a fifth day tomorrow, it still won't be as late an end to the season as last year.
In 2020, the T20 Blast quarter-finals took place on this date, with Finals Day following on 4 October.
It is, however, the latest first-class/red-ball cricket has been played in England since way back in the mists of time, when long beards were the fashion and club ties were used to keep trousers up.

The former England under-19 captain, who turns 21 later this month, had never even been to London before this Bob Willis Trophy match, let alone play at Lord's.
The left-hander made a classy and elegant 65 off 131 balls with nine fours and told BBC Radio Lancashire: "It's amazing to be here at Lord's and while the situation in the match isn't ideal, it was nice to spend some time in the middle and put a score together.
"It's a special place to play and I sat down in the changing rooms the other day and took a bit of time to take in all the surroundings and the history."

Image source, Getty ImagesIs there such a thing as cloud 10? Warwickshire will find out if they wrap up victory over Lancashire in the Bob Willis Trophy today.
It's been a busy week for Bears seam bowler Liam Norwell who told BBC CWR at the end of day three: "We're still floating on cloud nine after winning the championship and I think that reflected in our bowling on the first morning.
"I had to go straight down to Cornwall for a wedding after winning the title last week and the only person really who I was able to chat to about it in the immediate aftermath was my wife, so it's still sinking in."
The 29-year-old added: "It's not often you go out to bowl second time with a lead of more than 400 so we've just got to keep putting in the hard yards and hope the weather allows us to take four more wickets, To win this trophy this week would just put the cherry on the season."
First the good news - if there is no further rain at Lord's, play will start on time at 10:30.
Here's BBC forecaster Kate Kinsella with a more detailed forecast.

Will this be the day the 2021 county cricket season comes to an end?
Will this be the day Warwickshire add the Bob Willis Trophy to the County Championship title they won last week?
The answer to these questions is, in the words of Mr Frederick Mercury, in the lap of the gods.
Welcome to our coverage of the fourth day's play at Lord's.
