In Division Two, Marnus Labuschagne starred for Glamorgan as the Welsh county extended their lead at the top of the table with a draw against Worcestershire.
Labuschagne became the first batsman for Glamorgan since 2005 to score a century in both innings, hitting 100 in his second outing as his side declared on 246 for 5.
Worcestershire were set a target of 326 and they were 143 for one when they shook hands, with Callum Ferguson and Daryl Mitchell unbeaten on 70 and 64.
Lancashire are three points adrift of Glamorgan after Cameron Bancroft hit an unbeaten 92 for Durham to deny the Red Rose victory.
A huge captain's effort Take a bow, @cbancroft4 #ForTheNorth pic.twitter.com/9tauHbDyqs — Durham Cricket 🏏 (@DurhamCricket) July 3, 2019
Durham's Nathan Rimmington quickly finished off Lancashire's tail – with England's James Anderson batting with a runner after his injury problem on Tuesday.
Lancashire were dismissed for 247 but the victory target of 304 left Durham with most of the final day to survive if they were to avoid defeat.
Bancroft then starred as Durham reached 194 for six after 75 overs to prevent Lancashire from taking the victory.
Meanwhile, captain Dawid Malan missed out on the first double ton of his career, as his Middlesex side drew against Derbyshire.
