That's all from this game folks! We'll be back soon with some more live coverage. For now, it's a goodbye from our side..

Philip Salt: We got a message towards the end to finish the game as quickly as possible, and that's what we were looking for. The quality of our line-up, we bat very deep, the quality is unbelievable. We have a great coaching staff there. It gives you so much confident with that kind of quality in the team. We are coming to the party just at the right time. I am no expert at net run rates and looking at the point tables (laughs).

17:12 Local Time, 16:12 GMT, 21:42 IST: A rollicking win for Lancashire this. Everything went according to the plan for them today. They won the toss and elected to bowl first, and it was a great effort by them to restrict the opposition to a mediocre total. There were a few contributions from the opposition batters, but none were significant enough to threaten Lancashire. Luke Wood with three wickets was the pick of the bowlers for Lancashire. In reply, Buttler and Livingstone scored a few boundaries in the run chase, but it was Salt's innings that proved to be the decisive one. He was ruthless against the bowlers particularly when they got closer to the target as Lancashire chased down the target in 16.4 overs..
