Coach Steven Croft admits they were outplayed across the board, with both batting and bowling failing to match Derbyshire’s intensity.

Now, with their T20 Blast campaign also in trouble, Lancashire must rally fast — and hope returning players can spark a revival before their biggest rivalry match.
