GRAHAM LLOYD`S productive start to the season continued when  his
brisk innings of 81 helped Lancashire  avenge  last week`s Benson
and Hedges Cup defeat by Derbyshire.

Lloyd and Neil Fairbrother plundered 128 from 18  overs  to  take
Lancashire to 262 for seven at Derby.

After   a   short   stoppage   for    rain,     which     reduced
Derbyshire`s  target  to 252 from 38 overs,  captain  Dean  Jones
was bowled by Richard Green for 58 to put Lancashire in command.

Karl Krikken made 36 but Wasim Akram   cut   through   the  lower
order as Derbyshire ended on 217 for nine to lose by 35 runs.
