Wickets can be overly helpful for both seamers and spinners 🤨
Glenn Chapple's interview afterwards.... lol.... he certainly thought it was the pitch!
He might not have been watching some of the shots from the batsman (on both teams). 3 wickets fell to batters leaving the ball and some ridiculously attacking shots including Croft's reverse sweep come forward defense!
It's no coincidence that Cook is currently top scoring.
Add to that some marginal LBW's that went the bowlers way and you have some mental collapses.
Yes the pitch isn't perfect but it's the end of the season, it's going to be a used wicket.
And Lancs won the toss and batted 1st!
