At present, they are at 2nd spot in the North Group standings with 13 points.

Meanwhile, Lancashire finally won a game after a long gap of 15 days. On Thursday, they defeated Worcestershire by 34 runs. A lot of credit has to be given to their bowlers for defending a very modest target.  Currently, they are placed at the 5th spot in the standings with 10 points.
