Entwistle made his first-class debut for Lancashire against Gloucestershire in the 1962 County Championship.

His List A debut came against Leicestershire in the preliminary round of the 1963 Gillette Cup, which was the first ever List A match to be played. Opening the batting, he was the first person to be dismissed in List A cricket, hit wicket to Rodney Pratt for 18.[5] He made eight further List A appearances for Lancashire, the last of which came against Middlesex in the 1966 Gillette Cup.[6] In his nine List A matches for the county, he scored 150 runs at an average of 25.00, with a high score of 48.[7] He left Lancashire at the end of the 1966 season.
