Lancashire’s Haseeb Hameed posted his second hundred of the match before Yorkshire’s batsmen, who opted against chasing 367 despite laying a platform, secured the draw at Emirates Old Trafford.
Opener Hameed, 19, underpinned Lancashire’s second-innings 232 for three declared with an unbeaten 100 off 124 balls.
He helped to set the reigning Specsavers County Championship title holders a stiff target in a minimum of 71 overs just before lunch.
Centurion Alex Lees and opening partner Adam Lyth laid a platform by scoring 148 in 41 overs before tea, but they struggled to push on and shook hands at 5pm on 188 without loss from 52 overs.
Lancashire dominated this fixture and claimed eleven points to Yorkshire’s 10. It means the champions are now 26 points behind leaders Middlesex in second place with five to play and a game in hand. Both sides play each other in the final week of the season at Lord’s.
Lancashire are 34 behind Middlesex in fourth with four to play. Those two counties also meet here next month.
The Red Rose scored 162 runs in 23 overs before lunch as they advanced from 70 without loss overnight, including 87 for Tom Smith. He shared an opening stand of 168 with Hameed, the county’s highest partnership for that wicket.
Hameed’s innings also saw him pass 1,000 Championship runs for the season, his first full campaign of first-team cricket. And it proved to be a dream for the statisticians.
Hameed became the youngest Lancashire player to post 1,000 Championship runs in a season aged 19 years and 212 days and the fifth youngest in all. He also became the youngest Lancastrian to post two hundreds in the same match against any opponent, he became the first to do it against Yorkshire and only the third for either side in this particular fixture. The right-hander is also the youngest ever to post two hundreds in a first-class match played in England. Hameed also became the first teenaged opener to ever post four hundreds in a County Championship season, with the likes of Michael Vaughan, Marcus Trescothick and Rob Key posting two.
Lyth was dropped on three at gully by Alviro Petersen off Kyle Jarvis two balls into the afternoon, but the left-handed pair were otherwise chanceless through to tea.
At the start of the evening, they need 219 more in a minimum of 30 overs. They failed to get out of the blocks immediately after tea, despite Lees’ first Roses ton coming off 154 balls. The target became 180 in the final 20 overs, but the players shook hands almost immediately with Lees on 114 and Lyth on 63.
Lancashire head coach Ashley Giles said:"Haseeb is getting far too good far too quickly. My four-year time scale (of playing for England) has gone out of the window I think. He's an exceptional young player and a great temperament." Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie added: "Chasing was in the back of our minds. We thought we'd assess at tea, which we did. We thought 'let's keeping batting and we'll get feedback from Lythy and Leesy'.
"They are the two lads who were out there. Their feedback was that with the deteriorating pitch, it would be a big challenge for them to go for it, let alone a new batter coming in."
