LIVE BLOG: Lancashire v Kent, Day One

Lancashire face Kent in a Rothesay County Championship match at Stanley Park, Blackpool, with the start delayed due to rain and wet conditions forcing groundstaff to keep covers on the square. Lancashire have named a 13-man squad captained by James Anderson, with Liam Livingstone making his first County Championship appearance since 2021 after strong form in the Vitality Blast. Joe Moores is set to reach a milestone behind the wicket, though play has yet to begin due to persistent rainfall.
