Lancashire v Somerset @ Old Trafford 21/4/2017 to 24/4/2017
The last four day match before a months worth of Royal London Cup matches take on Somerset who were denied their first County Championship on the last day of the season when Toby Roland-Jones took a hat trick to finish of those hapless Yorkies to give Middlesex the title.
They started the season losing to newly promoted Essex on their ever so slightly doctored wicket down by the Tone in Taunton (Ciderabad) They also will probably get first use of the strip of concrete that will be the wicket at Old Trafford.
No teams news although Croft has fractured his thumb and is out for three weeks but Anderson is available to play for the Red Rose thanks to the ECB who said he can. No Buttler for the Red Rose as he is playing pub cricket in India.
Somerset's success last season was based on spin with Leach taking 65 wickets, Trescothick as per normal got most runs just over 1200.
I will be attending on day three so may even do a match blog hopefully it will be moderately warm but this is Manchester you're talking about.

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
