17:30 Local Time, 16:30 GMT, 22:00 IST: A comfortable win for the Lightning, but they nearly made a mess of what should have been a coast. They were well set-up by Luke Wells who made a 35-ball 66 and helped them race away to 77 for 1 at the end of the batting PP. To their credit, the Falcons kept fighting and chipping away, there were a few starts with Daryl Mitchell making 31, but the headstart ensured that they were always ahead of the scoring rate. Two wickets for Zaman Khan and Zak Chappell, but it's Lancashire who've started on a winning note. Considering that they're without the likes of Jos Buttler, Phil Salt and Liam Livingstone (all at the IPL), this is a very good start indeed. That concludes our coverage of today's encounter. Do join us on the 24th for more action. For now, cheers and bye..
