Pre-Match Analysis:

Lancashire has appointed Keaton Jennings as their full fledge skipper for this season after his tremendous run with the bat last year. Overseas player Colin de Grandomme who was part of Surrey last season will be making his County debut for Lancashire. Speedsters James Anderson and Saqib Mahmood are still working on their match fitness hence unavailable for this fixture. Luke Wells, Steven Croft, and Josh Bohannon, who struck over 800 runs each last season, will form the core of the batting alongside Keaton Jennings. Right-arm quick Tom Bailey produced remarkable performances by picking up 52 wickets. Luke Wood who was short of wickets last season will get a place in the starting eleven. They finished 2nd in the last two seasons and will aim to go one step further this time.

Surrey are one of the consistent sides in the County Championships having won the title twice in the last 4 seasons. Out of the 14 matches last year, they won 8, lost one, and managed to draw 5 games. Opener Rory Burns will remain as their skipper for this season. They have signed Australian paceman Sean Abbott as one of their Overseas players whereas Kemar Roach will extend his stint. They going to miss the services of Sam Curran who is linked up with Punjab Kings in the cash rice IPL. Will Jacks remain sidelined due to injury. Dominic Sibley now moved to Surrey from Warwickshire. England’s Test specialist Ollie Pope and Ben Foakes have been named in the side.
