Lyth and Willey dominating the bowling - stand of 145 so far with almost 17 overs left. 157/1.
Edit:More than 17! :facepalm

Yorkshire giving themselves an outside chance here.

Apparently 379 is ( not surprisingly ) Yorkshire's highest List A score against another county and also the highest total Lancashire have conceded in List A games.

So the best batting pitch Yorks have ever played on. Got to give the bowlers plenty of rope.

A maiden from Fisher. Yorks not going to give this up without a scrap.

Lancashire might be in with a shout if Livingstone stays in.

And he must have got out seconds before or after I said that!

177 needed from 26 overs with 8 wickets in hand. It could be interesting!

Looks as if Rashid may have put an end to their chances. 5 down now.

Indeed, should be a Yorkshire win from here. And probably a very comfortable one, to keep their healthy NRR intact.

And now that Hameed is gone, you can change comfortable win to total thrashing.

Still touch and go. 11 an over. Pretty likely on this pitch.

Just about hold on. Good job by the Yorks bowlers.

Cracking day out at Old Trafford, £10 on the gate too and got to venture on the hallowed turf at half-time. It was almost like being back in New Zealand 8-)

Pitch was indeed flat, though had a tiny bit of grass on top along with a lopsided boundary. 50m at one side, 100m at the other. I wouldn't be surprised if Highways England prepared the wicket whilst upgrading the M60.

Yorkshire got out of jail, no question about it. Lancashire could have chased down 380 with ease had Jet Jennings not played a tame shot to square leg and Dane Vilas not played an ugly swipe shot which got a leading edge. Even at 8 wickets down Yorkshire's bowlers tried their best to lose the match with some awful death over bowling, Plunkett's slower ball bouncers kept going wide of leg stump and Patterson bowled filthy full tosses. Though Dave Willey who nailed his yorkers in and with pace st the death, it was like watching Ryan Sidebottom.

Liam Livingstone could have got out 1st ball, playing a flap shot of sorts to 3rd man but Rashid went over the ropes as he caught it. Could not be helped because if the short boundary. Livingstone's innings of 79 was the filthiest knock i've ever seen in professional cricket, more luck than management as he had five lives playing ugly leg side swipes where on a normal sized boundary he would have been caught. Jet Jennings was a different class, always found the gap and his aggressive shots played with pure timing and precision.
