LANCASHIRE captain Keaton Jennings admitted the Red Rose's early season struggles are ‘massively concerning’

Form 'massively concerning'

The defeat at Northamptonshire’s Wantage Road saw Lancs drop to the bottom of the division and Jennings said it simply wasn’t good enough from Dale Benkenstein’s men.

“The disappointing thing for me is we've had four, five, six, seven opportunities in the game to win it and we squandered all those opportunities,” said Jennings.

“They lost three or four wickets and they've got away from us in both innings.

“It’s massively concerning and emotions aside, it’s just not good enough.

“Today we've been 116 for two and we get bowled out 50 runs later.

“I've got to ask questions of myself, the way we were going about bowling to the tail - are the decisions taken at that time the right ones?
