Lancashire Lightning v Glamorgan: Match postponed

Friday's T20 Blast quarter-final between Lancashire and Glamorgan at Old Trafford was rained off, meaning the match will now be played on Saturday.

Persistent rain in Manchester led to huge puddles forming on the outfield, and umpires Peter Hartley and Jeff Evans called the match off at 18:15 BST before a ball could be bowled.

The tie will now be on Saturday, 2 August, starting at 14:00 BST.

In the event of second postponement, a bowl-out could decide the winner.

The Red Rose were beaten 5-1 in a bowl-out by Somerset in 2009,, external after rain washed out that year's quarter-final at Old Trafford on three successive days.
