Andrew Flintoff hit his highest competitive score since the 2005 Ashes when he thrashed 93 for Lancashire against Derbyshire in English county cricket's Twenty20 Cup yesterday.

Less than a fortnight before the latest edition of the Ashes gets underway in Cardiff, England all-rounder Flintoff faced just 41 balls with six sixes and nine fours as Lancashire posted their competition best score of 220 for six.
