Andrew Flintoff is expected to bowl for the first time since last month in Lancashire's Twenty20 Cup group match against Notts Outlaws at Old Trafford (5.30pm start).

Dubbed the "Group of Death" due to the strength of the division, there are still four clubs fighting to secure progression to the quarter-finals (Durham, Lancashire, Yorkshire and Notts).

The top two teams from each group and the two best third placed teams will qualify for the quarter-finals which will be drawn on Friday evening and played between Monday, July 7 and Wednesday, July 9.

After playing as a batsman only in the previous three Twenty20 Cup matches, Flintoff is expected to bowl during - the first time since sustaining a side injury during the Durham Championship clash at Old Trafford in May.
