One piece of extra good news for Red Rose fans of all cricketing codes to emerge this morning is that England have made World Cup winning wicketkeeper Jos Buttler available for Lancashire's first six matches in the T20 Blast.

Buttler, who has not played since his stunning IPL century for Rajasthan Royals on 2 May - 124 off 64 balls - will play in Lancashire's first two home games at Emirates Old Trafford.

They are on back-to-back days against Derbyshire (9 June, 14:30) and Leicestershire (10 June, 18:30).

But then their next four games are all away: Worcestershire (13 June, 14:30), Derbyshire (15 June, 19:00), Durham (17 June, 19:00) and Birmingham Bears (18 June, 18:30).

There is terror on the tracks in Blackpool as Michael Portillo embarks on a new journey across Bradshaw's Britain with his Victorian guidebook. He makes potent new friends in Fleetwood then heads to Manchester, where George Stephenson built the world's first modern railway line. This epoch-defining achievement is being incorporated into a new multimillion-pound rail link between Manchester's Victoria and Piccadilly stations, and Michael lends a hand with the welding. At a moving ceremony in Manchester Piccadilly station, Michael unveils a new monument to 87 railwaymen of the London and North Western Railway, who lost their lives in the Great War.

Michael Portillo's journey from the Irish Sea to the North Sea continues by tram from Manchester. At the imposing town hall of the world's first industrial city, Michael comes face to face with the Victorian scientist who invented modern atomic theory. He then heads to the city's National Graphene Institute, where he learns to make the groundbreaking material invented there by two Nobel Prize-winning scientists. His Bradshaw's leads him to an 18th-century settlement built by refugees from Europe.

Next, deep underground at Standedge, Michael discovers an ambitious Victorian engineering marvel. At Silkstone Common, he tracks down the forge where a Victorian metallurgist created wrought iron axles strong enough for railway rolling stock and is delighted to discover the works operates its own miniature train.
