Lancashire's pre-season friendly against Cambridge MCCU has been halted by bad weather, as no play was possible on Day Two at Fenner's.
A combination of heavy overnight rain and persistent rain throughout the morning made parts of the outfield unsuitable for play, although play is due to restart tomorrow morning at 11.00am, with the forecast suggesting that there will be a good chance of play.
The second day of this match was scheduled to be the first appearance for New Zealander Neil Wagner in a Lancashire shirt, but the Kiwi paceman had to settle for playing football with his new teammates.
The Red Rose enjoyed a fruitful day of early season practice with the bat yesterday, with captain Steven Croft leading by example, as he registered the first century of the season for Lancashire in scoring 103 not out.
Lancashire progressed to 290/7 by close of play yesterday evening, although a good deal of the final session was forfeited due to bad light. Croft and Haseeb Hammed - who made 59 in yet another determined innings for the side - demonstrated tremendous application on a difficult wicket, one which the likes of Wagner and James Anderson will look forward to having a bowl on themselves at some stage tomorrow.
