Smith made 44 at Durham in the T20

Lancashire's planning has been key to the excellent start they have made in the FP T20, says Tom Smith.

The all-rounder made 67 in the 69-run win against Northants which followed a 23-run victory at Durham.

The 24-year-old told BBC Radio Manchester: "The coach, Mooresy, is very keen we work on all aspects of our game when we get the chance.

"We had a couple of practice days beforehand and it clicked for us at Durham then again against Northants."

He added: "We knew with a quick turn-around from the Championship to Twenty20, there'd be a few sides adapting to it.

"So, if we hit it hard and strong, we might get a few wins under the belt and get ahead of the opposition.

"We've proved we are a very good team in this competition.

"I think, in our first two games, we've hammered our opponents.

"We've put a marker down in the group and we'll try to just keep going as we are.

"We've started the competition off very well."
