Connor Fitzgerald

@lancscricket Horrendous shot last over of the day but very happy to take it!

MITCHY! ⚡ Stanley strikes in the final over of the day as Jewell chops on and an early breakthrough in the Derbyshire innings! And that is close on Day One at EOT. 0-1 (1.3) 🌹 #RedRoseTogether

@lancscricket This is the softest collection of wickets I’ve ever seen

Wicket. Hartley bowled by Bashir. 306-7 (77.3) 🌹 #RedRoseTogether

@lancscricket Best Australian batsman of all time

HE'S BACK! 🤩🇦🇺 Marcus Harris has a faultless century on his Lancashire return! 203-3 (54.3) 🌹 #RedRoseTogether

@stevieeray08 @LiamPson673 @lancscricket @EmiratesOT Agreed, still feels weird tho

@LiamPson673 @CFitzy7 @lancscricket @EmiratesOT Coughlin 7 I reckon

ROUND TWO READY. 👊🏡 Back @EmiratesOT for the first time in 2026 and three changes to the XI. Congratulations to Paul Coughlin as he makes his Red Rose first-class debut with Marcus Harris and Mitch Stanley also coming into the side. Derbyshire win the toss and will bowl first. ❌ 🌹 #RedRoseTogether

@danbooth21 Idc if he got a golden today you have to give him motm for the run out

Jos Buttler gang we're so incredibly back

@singh_kumaramit @ErikaMorris79 @WG_RumblePants Jacks will continue the finisher role after doing that well in the World Cup. There’s some good youngsters around, but the bigger names are either Duckett and Smith (focusing on tests), or Banton Cox and Coles who usually bat in the middle order now

@CFitzy7 @ErikaMorris79 @WG_RumblePants Yeah... completely agree. But in your domestic cricket also are there no viable alternatives for Joss!!.... what if he is not able to turn it around. Who will be that coveted finisher... which Joss was for England for so long?

Butler relegated and resigned as English T20 Cricket captain...just to find form and substance in IPL. Butler is on the song!! @ErikaMorris79 and @WG_RumblePants any chances of him getting back in English 11? #GTvDC #IPL

@lancscricket Absolute killer that…

Match Drawn. Lancashire fall one wicket short of completing an opening round win despite a huge effort across four days at Wantage Road. 📊 Match Centre: lancashirecricket.co.uk/match-centre/n… 🌹 #RedRoseTogether

@lancscricket Holy Hursty what a grab

JIMMY! AGAIN!! 🔥 Kimber gets a thick edge and Hursty dives low to his right to take the grab! 1 wicket to go... 181-9 (84.3) 🌹 #RedRoseTogether

@pauldw91 @lancscricket @jimmy9 102

@lancscricket @jimmy9 How many matches? He hardly played for 10 years 🐐

4⃣0⃣0⃣ First-Class wickets for Lancashire. @jimmy9 ❤️ 2002 👉 2026* 🌹 #RedRoseTogether

@lancscricket Too good, two more

THE NEW BALL WORKS! ✅ James Anderson gets one to jag back and wrap McManus on the pads to finally break the Northants resistance! 179-8 (82.4) 🌹 #RedRoseTogether

@lancscricket Come on then big finish needed now

We've taken the second new ball at Wantage Road with a minimum of 20 overs remaining in the match. 172-7 (80) 🌹 #RedRoseTogether

@CookeeCharlie Shades of the recent white ball wk teams Salt Buttler Bairstow Duckett Banton Smith

Why don't we just pick all the wicket keepers Rew Cox Smith Foakes and just see what happens

@joerob_96 @lancscricket Nah it’s just dead with the old ball We get 20 overs with the second new ball and over half of all the wickets so far have fallen within that period

@lancscricket Let's see if there's an improvement from last season. Fear we'll draw this again

TEA: 144-7 (64) Tom Hartley with our only breakthrough in the afternoon session as the home side dig in. 📊 Match Centre: lancashirecricket.co.uk/match-centre/n… 🌹 #RedRoseTogether

@NoContextCounty Durham have the strongest squad imo, but this Lancs team are missing their two best batters. Got to be the two favourites to go up, but Derbs Worcs Kent and Middlesex are decent too

Are Lancashire your favourites to win Division 2?

@lancscricket Superb work from both baldy and hursty

ZAIB GOES! 👋 George Balderson finds a thin outside edge behind to Matty Hurst standing up to the stumps! 50-6 (31.3) 🌹 #RedRoseTogether

@lancscricket We are so back

BALDERS! 💪 George Balderson takes his first of the season as McSweeney loops a catch to Michael Jones in the slips! 39-5 (25.2) 🌹 #RedRoseTogether

@NickFriend1 I think they need to reassess the whole pitch rules. You’ve got 18 counties, let them pick their speciality (spin, seam, pace, flat, balanced) and have variety around the country. As long as it’s not causing 2 day finishes it’s fine

Significant change deep in this year's Champo regs. Any team whose pitch is rated "below average" will be docked all points from the game, regardless of result or bonuses - ie. you'd get 0 for a win. Likely, you'd think, to impact spinners in particular. thecricketer.com/Topics/county-…

@lancscricket Ben stokes has some competition

YESSSSSSS! 🙏 Two in the over for Tom Bailey as Harrison leaves one which nips back in! 23-3 (7.4) 🌹 #RedRoseTogether
