The Opposition
Lancashire Lightning are second in the North Group table, three points ahead of the Falcons, with six wins in the competition so far.
Openers, Luke Wells and Keaton Jennings, have both passed 200 runs for the Lightning this season, but their overall batting has been strong, with runs evenly shared throughout their top-order.
With the ball, Australia all-rounder, Chris Green, has claimed 13 wickets, while England’s Saqib Mahmood has taken ten. Both will be looking to add to their tally at Derby and strengthen their grip on a quarter-final place.
