Coughlin's Century Flips Lancashire's Fortunes

0:00On April 26th, Paul Cofflin dropped 100 on his old squad Durham, his second first-class tonne, and flipped the script for Lancashire on day 3 of their county championship clash. Lank started with the 75 run first innings lead after bowling Durham out for $2.95, but they tumbled to $72 for 6 early. On, thanks to Matthew Potts, ripping through the top order. That all changed with a 131 run stand between Michael Jones and Cofflin, both smashing past 50 to steady the ship and build a massive advantage. Jones got out after T, but Cofflin kept grinding, notching his first century in a Lancashire shirt. Cofflin, who ditched Durham for the Red Rose, brought that revenge fire, frustrating the hosts while teammates played it safe. His proactive shots pushed the lead past 200, and the crowd felt the shift as Lance turned defense into attack. They declared a 264-9, gunning Durham a 336 run chase. Cofflin sealed it with a 6 right before the call.

1:00Bad light shut things down early, so Durham faces that mountain tomorrow with Lance holding all the cards.
