Cricket-South African pair in 501 stand for Lancashire

LONDON, July 20 (Reuters) - South African batsmen Ashwell Prince and Alviro Petersen piled on a record 501 runs for the third wicket in Lancashire's county championship match against Glamorgan on Monday. It was the highest partnership for any wicket in the county's 151-year history, and only the 13th time in first-class cricket that any stand passed 500 runs. Glamorgan finally parted the pair when Prince was out for a career-best 261. Petersen, having batted for more than eight hours, then fell six overs later for 286 -- also the best of his career -- as Lancashire reached 625 for four on the second day of the match at the Welsh seaside resort of Colwyn Bay.
