Salt and Buttler return for our clash against the league leaders (albeit we do have a game in hand).

No excuses. It's a terrific squad. It'll be interesting to see who makes the final selection. Only Aspinwall misses out completely.

Keaton Jennings (c),
James Anderson,
Jack Blatherwick,
Jos Buttler,
Chris Green,
Tom Hartley,
Matty Hurst,
Michael Jones,
Liam Livingstone,
Saqib Mahmood,
Phil Salt,
Ashton Turner,
Luke Wells,
Luke Wood

That's some squad!

Tonight and probably on LCCC YouTube.

It's live on Northamptonshire's website.

Quite a lineup!

Before his final 3 balls he was pants!

After one over of the Lancs reply, Phil Salt’s bat has failed at the width test. Not sure what happens here.

Same old Lanky always........

Jos Buttler has just flicked a six into the back rows of the Northamptonshire stands and I’m sure I saw a guy celebrating it with a crutch held high.

Four dot balls on the trot to Buttler.

Surprised half of them remembered they were allowed to play for their county.

Strange shot really. That said, Buttler and Salt have both been great; Salt especially

I wouldn’t say Buttler had been great

I see where you’re coming from. Built a good score but not a typically explosive innings. Perhaps Wells would have been better coming in at three

Are we going to grab defeat from the jaws of victory here?

Suddenly 23 needed from two overs and a new batsman coming in.

11 needed off last over but with two new batsmen in

Won with three balls to spare

Wells to the rescue. Lance get over the line with three deliveries to spare.

That’s the way to do it

Fair do's to Balok there.

Lancashire cricket club…… continuing to do well in a tournament that Yorkshire have never won……. Maybe this year?

It will be an interesting match up at EOT next Friday now your all stars are back in the team.

I'll be in town for that one.

Hey Bodge, did you see that single over that cymbals bowled for Yorkies last week? What a spectacle.
