Yorkshire, who have never lifted the domestic T20 trophy, successfully chased 168 to beat Notts Outlaws at Trent Bridge.<\/p>\n
England opener Ben Duckett was one of several Notts batters unable to kick on to a big score after getting a start – he was dismissed for 29 in Notts’ 167-7.<\/p>\n
Yorkshire were 11-2 in the second over but were easy winners in the end, thanks to a third-wicket partnership of 144 between Bairstow (83 not out) and James Wharton (55).<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Derbyshire Falcons fell just short of their victory target of 204 against Durham.<\/p>\n
Matt Montgomery (74 not out) was on strike for Matthew Potts’ final delivery of the innings with a six required to tie, but the England seamer bowled an excellent dot-ball yorker.<\/p>\n
The remaining two North Group teams lost to sides from other groups.<\/p>\n
Lancashire Lightning were well beaten by Surrey, who are bidding to win England’s domestic T20 competition for the first time since the inaugural edition in 2003.<\/p>\n
Jason Roy’s 45 off 19 balls got Surrey off to a fine start, Ollie Pope made 31 and Tom Curran smashed an unbeaten 49 off 20 balls as the home side posted 213-6.<\/p>\n
Roy took a superb slip catch to dismiss Keaton Jennings first ball – one of two scalps for left-arm paceman Reece Topley (2-27) in the opening over of the visitors’ reply – and Lancashire were eventually bowled out for 154.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, unbeaten half-centuries from Nick Kelly and Ben Cox were not enough for Leicestershire Foxes as they lost by 18 runs to Worcestershire Rapids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yorkshire, who have never lifted the domestic T20 trophy, successfully chased 168 to beat Notts Outlaws at Trent…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":598803,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-598802","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598802","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=598802"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598802\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/598803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=598802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=598802"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=598802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
