LANCASHIRE have fixed up two floodlit league matches at Old Trafford next season.

And they will play in another three day-night games on other grounds.

The big two Manchester dates are Monday, June 22 against Surrey, and Monday, July 20 against Worcester.

Lancs were the first to stage a floodlit game on a county ground when they beat Yorkshire in a friendly last summer. It pulled in around 6,000 and they believe they can attract a lot more for a competitive match.

Their other floodlit fixtures are at Hove (April 21), Edgbaston (June 30) and Headingley (August 24).

Nottinghamshire are poised to unveil Lancashire batsman Jason Gallian as their second signing in eight days at Trent Bridge today. Gallian was due to complete final negotiations today, following Zimbabwe leg-spinner Paul Strang to Trent Bridge.
