Following the huge success of the last game, against Worcestershire, they have opened negotiations with Hampshire, who they are due to face on Sunday, September 6.
That is the day after the NatWest Trophy final, and as Lancashire were drawn away at Hampshire in the semis yesterday, one of the sides is guaranteed to be at Lord's. This would force Lancashire to switch the AXA match to the following week, which has created the ideal chance to squeeze in a third floodlit match.
Lancashire have only three more home AXA League games left, facing Leicestershire and Gloucestershire on the next two Sunday afternoons. ``It will be a good chance to compare the crowds for those games with the 9,000 we had for the Worcester game under lights,'' said club spokesman Ken Grime.
Meanwhile Aussie skipper Peter Sleep rescued the second team, aiming to retain their own championship title, on the first day of their match against Derbyshire in Cheadle, Staffordshire. Sleep hit 83 to steer Lancashire to 255-7.
