Croft is recalled to Lancs squad; IN BRIEF .

CRICKET: Two centuries and a five-wicket haul in last week''s second team games against Glamorgan at Aigburth earned Steven Croft a recall to Lancashire''s 13-man team for the Roses match at Headingley today.

Croft and Steven Mullaney have been added to a squad which still lacks six seam bowlers. Andrew Flintoff and James Anderson have been on Ashes duty all summer, but recent injuries to Sajid Mahmood and Glen Chapple have stretched Old Trafford''s resources to their limit. SQUAD: Stephen Parry, Paul Horton, Mal Loye, VVS Laxman, Mark Chilton, Francois du Plessis, Steven Croft, Luke Sutton (cpt/wkt), Kyle Hogg, Steven Mullaney, Tom Lungley, Oliver Newby, Gary Keedy.
