KYLE HOGG continued his superb start in Lancashire's first team by adding Shaun Pollock to his list of victims.
The South African all-rounder was trapped lbw for a duck by Lancashire's teenage sensation, his third victim in as many overs to trigger a Warwickshire collapse.
That followed Hogg's five-wicket performance on his Championship debut against Leicestershire at Old Trafford last week, and skipper Warren Hegg said: "He is performing well above his years."
The 18-year-old is already growing tired of being reminded of his cricketing pedigree - his dad Willie was a Lancashire seamer, and he is the grandson of the West Indies spin legend Sonny Ramadhin.
But comparisons were inevitable today at Edgbaston as Willie also played for Warwickshire in his playing career.
Hogg had also had Jim Troughton caught behind and Dougie Brown snapped up in the slips, and with Peter Martin following his four-wicket haul in the first innings with the crucial wickets of Nick Knight and Neil Smith, Warwickshire slumped from 93 for two to 124 for seven.
But Lancashire still needed to polish off the remaining three wickets quickly today after a batting collapse of their own left the Bears with a first-innings lead of 46.
They had been going well in reply to Warwickshire's 297, mainly thanks to another player enjoying a fine start to the season, Graham Lloyd.
He raced to his third half century in as many innings in only 39 balls with 10 fours, dominating a fourth wicket stand of 93 with Stuart Law.
But after Law went for 30, Lancashire lost their last six wickets for 33, with Lloyd going for 80, one of five victims for Staffordshire-born seamer Alan Richardson.
