ROSES MATCH TIEDpublished at 21:40 British Summer Time 27 May 2022
Lancashire (183-7) v Yorkshire (183-5)
We've heard a lot this week about T20 cricket being overshadowed by the newer, shinier Hundred, but this Roses match has delivered, and some.
A full house, a dramatic finish and old rivals able to shake hands after going at it full throttle for the last three hours. What's not to love?
A third tie in 33 T20 Roses matches, by the way.

Lancashire (183-7) tie with Yorkshire (183-5)
What a game of T20 cricket we have witnessed right there.
Harry Brook with a brilliant 72 looked to have guided Yorkshire through an outstanding chase, but he can't get the one run he needs off the final ball.
Credit to Richard Gleeson, though. An excellent response after it looked like the match had slipped through Lancashire's fingers.
