Durham CCC team news v Lancashire

Durham CCC face Lancashire CCC in a top of the table clash when the two sides face each other at Emirates Durham ICG in the LV= County Championship this week.

Lancashire visit the north east with a game in hand and a three point advantage over the Durham who are looking to secure their third consecutive championship win.

Head Coach Geoff Cook has named a thirteen man squad for the fixture which includes the return of Graham Onions and Liam Plunkett.  Stephen Harmison is unavailable for selection after suffering a spinal joint sprain at Edgbaston last week.

Play is scheduled to start at 11.00am with tickets available to purchase on the gate priced at £15 for adults and £6 for juniors.

Those spectators unable to attend can follow the action live via Durham CCC’s Live Match Chat, www.durhamccc.co.uk/live-match-chat , which also includes the link to BBC Radio Newcastle’s ball by ball commentary.
