There were 430 runs at Chesterfield as Yorkshire staged a stunning late comeback to almost snatch an improbable victory over Derbyshire.<\/p>\n
The home side racked up 215-9, their seventh highest T20 total, with Wayne Madsen (62) sharing in stands of 69 with Martin Andersson (51) and 44 with Ross Whiteley (36).<\/p>\n
The last two overs cost just eight runs, a stark contrast to what was to come at the end of Yorkshire’s innings.<\/p>\n
The visitors lost openers Jonny Bairstow (0) and Adam Lyth (5) cheaply, found themselves 95-5 in the 12th over, and were 179-8, still 37 runs short, with two overs to go.<\/p>\n
But Matthew Revis went into overdrive, hitting Ben Aitchison for two sixes before doing the same to Akif Javed, and then scrambling a single to mid-off from the final ball to tie the game, the first such result of the competition this season.<\/p>\n
That result allowed Nottinghamshire to move to the top of the table, as they beat Leicestershire by 74 runs at Grace Road.<\/p>\n
George Munsey scored a third successive T20 Blast half-century, following up his 53 against Derbyshire earlier this month and Friday’s 82 not out against Kent with an unbeaten 75 in this one.<\/p>\n
George Linde hit 55 from just 22 balls before he was run out off the penultimate delivery of Nottinghamshire’s 209-4.<\/p>\n
In reply, Leicestershire lost wickets with regularity, with only Rehan Ahmed (45 off 23 balls) and Ben Mike (39 off 24) offering much resistance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There were 430 runs at Chesterfield as Yorkshire staged a stunning late comeback to almost snatch an improbable…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":663320,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-663319","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\/663319","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=663319"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663319\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/663320"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=663319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=663319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=663319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
