    Lancashire 61-3 v Yorkshire 128-7 (6.1overs)

    So, so nearly.

    Dom Bess is the new bowler and Rob Jones reverse-sweeps him first ball and narrowly sees his shot drop just short of Gary Balance at backward short leg.

    Lucky.

    The three Lancashire batsmen who have been in excellent T20 form are all out.

    Lancashire have lost three in the power play. Can Yorkshire claw it back and claim a famous win?

    A misunderstanding and frustration for Lancashire.

    How are the nerves? Remember, Lancs must win this game to guarantee a spot in the knockouts.

    It's tight. Alex Davies pulled out a huge dive sprinting back.

    Mix up. This could be a run out!

    Lancashire 54-2 v Yorkshire 128-7 (5.3 overs)

    Joe Root comes into the attack. He starts with three singles.

    Lancashire's run rate is just 5.09.

    It started off as a green light for go, go, go for Lancashire.

    But can Yorkshire drag themselves back into this one with some more quick wickets?

    The supporters are not too fussed either way...

    Lancashire 50-2 v Yorkshire 128-7 (4.5 overs)

    A dot and then another four to Davies.

    Next he tickles a single and that'll bring up the 50. Lancashire are cruising.

    Lancashire 45-2 v Yorkshire 128-7 (4.2 overs)

    No, a full-toss from Matt Waite relives all the pressure!

    Alex Davies doesn't miss out, smashing it for four. Yorkshire need to be far, far tighter. Every over should be like Fisher's last.

    He can close it out.

    An excellent over, only three from it.

    Fisher thinks he has Villas leg before...

    ...too high.

    Still, a great over so far. Just two from it. Can he close it out?

    That is a big wicket for Yorkshire. Finn Allen looked in sensational touch.

    That's a good comeback from Matthew Fisher - his first over went for 14.

    What a return!

    Finn Allen tries a ramp shot, gets it all wrong and Fisher has him clean-bowled.

    A nice cameo comes to an end. Skipper Dane Villas comes into the middle.

    Two dots to Alex Davies completes the over.

    Matt Fisher returns to the attack. He was hit for 14 in the first over.

    I agree Jonathan. Incidentally there was not a whisper of celebration from Root and Yorkshire. Yorkshire still very much behind right now.

    After that fantastic start, Lancashire can afford to lose one or two. They are still well on their way.

    That'll slow things down.

    Keaton Jennings walks down the ground but gets a slower delivery all wrong, chipping the ball straight to Joe Root at mid-on.

    An easy catch. Alex Davies is the new man in.

    Paceman Matthew Waite comes into the attack.

    Carbon copy. This one's in the top tier!

    34 from the first two overs. Incredible!
