Lancashire’s visit to Headingley was washed-out without a ball being bowled as the Roses rivals were made to share one point each in the Natwest T20 Blast campaign.
This is the second time in as many years
where the Lightning have travelled across the Pennines for a point, with Steven
Croft earning Lancashire a tie off the last ball in the 2013 season.
Croft was also due to overtake Paul Nixon
as the Englishman with the most consecutive appearances in T20 cricket, but was
denied the opportunity due to the rain that fell throughout the afternoon, into
the early evening.
This point is however useful to Paul Horton
and his men, who remain poised to qualify from the North Group after a
successful start to the T20 campaign. Lancashire’s next match in this format is
next Friday against Warwickshire at Edgbaston, where they will hope to avoid
the kind of weather seen today.
