Murali Karthik stole the show by taking 10 wickets -- five in each innings -- for Lancashire in their four-day cricket match against Essex in Frizzle County Championships Division Two.
The Indian left-arm spinner, who returned impressive figures of 5-93 on debut, took five for 75 as Essex were bowled out for 227 shortly after resuming on Sunday at 144 for six.
Karthik, who took 4-33 on Saturday, scalped Andre Adams (19) for his fifth wicket on Sunday.
On Saturday, he had opener Williams Jefferson caught by Anderson when he was blazing at 35 off 36 deliveries before removing the middle order by ousting Grant Flower (13) and Andy Flower (five) to leave Essex struggling at 84 for 4. His fourth victim was Darren Gough (15).
Earlier, Lancashire scored 340 in reply to Essex's 267 in their first innings.
