Josh Bohannon's battling century ensured Lancashire escaped with a draw against a frustrated Surrey despite the reigning county champions dominating the first three days of this hard-fought season opener.
Surrey had set Lancashire a nominal target of 444 to win at Old Trafford. But after resuming on 37-0, the hosts dug in determinedly.
The visitors were only able to claim three wickets in reply to England hopeful Bohannon's belligerent knock of 108 off 187 balls, on his 26th birthday.
