A fine all round effort from the spinners and a century opening partnership put Lancashire in control at the end of the second day of play versus Boland Academy at Bellville.

Chris Schofield bowling for the first time on tour struck twice in an over just before lunch to remove danger man Vuuren and Jephta second ball to tilt the balance of play to Lancashire. After lunch Keedy bowling for the first time since his back injury, took two wickets and Gary Yates polished off the tail with figures off three for 15, reducing Boland to 201 all out, a deficit of 136.

With one session of play remaining in the day captain John Crawley promoted himself to open with Mark Chilton. The two put on 151 runs before Crawley was stumped with the last ball of the day for a brilliant 101. Mark Chilton who desperately seeking runs having not scored double figures all tour was left unbeaten on 49.
