Well done to Rayner, may only be their A Side, but you'd still expect them to be decent players of spin, agreed?

Lancashire v Sri Lanka A result

Lancashire innings: 140 all out
Sri Lanka A innings: 105 all out (Mahmood 5/16)

Lancashire win by 35 runs.

Andrew Flintoff returned to action in this game, scoring 25 from 40 balls. He didn't bowl.

I guess that game must also have been one of the first back for Mahmood (just checked and he played last week but almost his first back)? Nice to see him get in amongst the wickets, if only he could carry this sort of form onwards.

It's great to see both Lanky lads back. Mahmood was clearly very stiff in our game against Northants in mid-week, but his performance yesterday gives me a lot of hope for him.

Maybe Flintoff could be in-line for a return to the Twenty20 side for finals day this weekend?

Mahmood is a legend. Good to see Freddy back, anyone know how long it is expected before he can bowl again? Good win for Lancs this, as I imagine the A team are fairly strong.

We will see just how strong they are when they take on August 3rd to 5th when they take on India

The they will be made to look stronger than they actually are

Good to see both of them back.
I hope Freddie plays in the Twenty20 finals and be available for England as an all rounder.

Comfortable victory for the Sri Lankans.
Durham have some good players in there so they'll be disapppointed that they didn't put up more of a fight.
