You might have noticed that Lancashire have been winning a few cricket matches lately. Nothing too spectacular as yet – it hardly needs saying this has been tough season – but three Vitality Blast victories on the bounce have given the Red Rose a sniff of qualification for the knockout stages of the competition.

Those wins have been achieved partly by mean bowling – 43-year-old James Anderson returned figures of 4-0-19-2 in Derbyshire’s 205 on Wednesday evening and conceded three runs off the 19th over of the innings. Partly also, though, by the all-round talents of new signing Shadab Khan and by Liam Livingstone’s hitting, the like of which would have been seemed preposterous to attacking batsmen even 30 years ago.
