TEAMS PREVIEW
Lancashire Preview
It’s been a rough stretch for Lancashire so far. They’ve gone five matches without a win—drawing four and dropping the most recent one to Northamptonshire. There have been flashes of good play, but they haven’t pulled it together as a complete unit. This next phase gives them a chance to reset and find some form.
Marcus Harris has been the most consistent performer with the bat for Lancashire this season, amassing 749 runs in 10 innings at an average of 83.22. Josh Bohannon has added value too, scoring 368 runs from 10 innings and giving some balance to the order. Keaton Jennings, with 337 runs in 10 matches, adds experience and will be hoping to contribute more at the top.
In the bowling department, George Balderson has stepped up with the ball, grabbing 14 wickets in seven innings while keeping his average at 31.85. Tom Bailey and Tom Hartley have ed him well, taking 11 and 7 wickets each, and both remain reliable options heading into the next game.
Lancashire Predicted Playing XI:
Keaton Jennings (c), George Bell, Josh Bohannon, Marcus Harris, Matthew Hurst (wk), Luke Wells, George Balderson, Tom Hartley, Tom Bailey, Anderson Phillip, Will Williams

Derbyshire Preview
Derbyshire have made an impressive start to their County Championship campaign, with one win and four draws from their first five matches putting them in second place on the table. Still unbeaten this season, they’ll be aiming to carry that rhythm into the next stretch of games.
Wayne Madsen, the captain and middle-order rock, has been in excellent touch, scoring 465 runs from 8 innings at an average of 66.42. Opening batter Caleb Jewell has been steady as well, piling up 433 runs at an average of 54.12.
Lower down the order, Martin Andersson has chipped in with 349 runs in six innings, maintaining an outstanding average of 58.16.
Luis Reece has led the way with the ball, picking up 19 wickets in eight innings. Derbyshire also have good depth in their bowling, with Blair Tickner, Zak Chappell, and Anuj Dal combining for 34 wickets so far.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The pitch in Manchester offers plenty of lateral movement before lunch, especially from the James Anderson End. Adjustments made by the groundstaff have cut down on the usual turn, which now puts more value on tight seam bowling going into day two. The revamped square reacts in its own way to the overheads—when it's cloudy, swing becomes much more pronounced. Even with improved drainage, the outfield is still dragging more than usual. The first session remains the best shot at taking wickets before the pitch evens out. Batting conditions tend to improve steadily by day three.
Expect warm weather with a good amount of sunshine through most of the four-day stretch.

With the weather conditions likely to be sunny and pleasant for this game, expect the wicket to be great for batting for the first three days. The team batting first would eye a score of around 450.
Toss: To Bat

Winning Prediction
Derbyshire will be aiming to hold onto their spot at the top two as they head into the next leg of the County Championship Division Two. They’ve looked steady so far this season, and with Lancashire still not finding their rhythm, Derbyshire look in a good position to take control again. Lancashire’s batting unit has had its moments, but their bowling hasn’t backed it up. Too often, the lack of consistency with the ball has let them down. If the Manchester pitch plays as flat as it has in recent rounds, though, we might be staring at a fourth draw in a row at this ground.
It will either be a Derbyshire win or a drawn game.
