6-fer by Tim in the Roses T20 is going to be hard to beat. Big performance in a big fixture.

Yeah it's Yorkshire's Tim Brennan for his 6-19 against Lancashire. Best ever T20 figures for Yorkshire.

An unbelievable knock of 119 by Suzie Bates was followed up by 3-15 as the South beat Loughborough.

Her century was the first ever in the KSL.

Sorry for the late one. Went to Essex v Kent which I thought had a strong candidate for COTD but....

Has to go to Adam Lyth for his 161 in a remarkable display for Yorkshire against Derbyshire.
