WORCESTERSHIRE CCC batted out the final day’s play to draw with Lancashire in the County Championship.
Captain Brett D’Oliveira (46 not out) and Matthew Waite (47 not out) dug in with the bat for the Pears at Southport.
The result means Worcestershire take 11 points from the fixture to sit sixth in Division Two of the County Championship table.
Lancashire won the toss and elected to bowl as Pears opener Dan Lategan (53) scored a half-century.
However, Lategan’s departure from the crease sparked a dramatic collapse as the Pears slipped from 101-3 to 107-6.
Waite (77) and Tom Taylor (41) led the recovery while tail order runs from Beyers Swanepoel (21) and George Drissell (17) helped Worcestershire reach 270 all out.
Rain prevented any play on day two as Lancashire resumed on day three on 28-0.
Half-centuries from Keaton Jennings (69) and Paul Coughlin (61), the latter scoring runs from just 44 balls, helped Lancashire reached 281-8.
More rain on day three saw a total of 116 overs lost to the weather over the course of the match.
Further showers on day four led to a delayed start as Lancashire immediately declared upon the resumption of play with an 11-run lead.
England legend James Anderson (2-27) put the Pears under pressure with the ball as he removed opener Jake Libby (21) and Gareth Roderick (0) for a two-ball duck.
And Tom Hartley (2-53) accounted for Kashif Ali (16) and Adam Hose (0) in the 32nd over to leave Worcestershire on 90-4.
Opener Lategan (48) eventually fell to the bowling of Coughlin (1-20) before D’Oliveira and Waite combined at the crease.
The pair produced a 97-run sixth-wicket stand to frustrate the home side before the teams shook hands on a draw with the Pears on 211-5.
Worcestershire begin their T20 Blast campaign against Leicestershire on Friday, May 22 with play to begin at 6.30pm at Grace Road.
