2020: Harvey blitzes Lancashire

Leeds: Yorkshire v Lancashire
Flintoff and Harvey turn up the heat in the roses match

Yorkshire have increased their chances of a spot in the quarter finals after an incredible assault from Ian Harvey who hit 108 from 59 deliveries.

He and Phil Jacques made light work of a challenging Lancashire total of 168.

Making his Twenty20 debut, Andrew Flintoff struck a magnificent 85 from 48 balls before hitting a powerful return catch to off spinner Andy Gray. He received little support from the lower order and the innings lost all momentum after his wicket. Despite posting a competitive score, it was obvious that with Harvey on form they needed more.

Lancashire 168
Flintoff 85, Gray 3-18
Yorkshire 170-2
Harvey 108, Jacques 39


Cardiff: Glamorgan v Gloucestershire
Gloucester slip up against the Dragons

Glamorgan returned to the top of the Midlands/Wales/West division of the Twenty20 cup with a fine bowling performance against visitors Gloucestershire.

The Glamorgan innings was punctuated by 43 off 35 balls from David Hemp, who was well supported by the Glamorgan middle order.

Despite good performances from James Averis and Jon Lewis with the ball and Tim Hancock with the bat, Gloucestershire's run chase let them down, and they fell 32 runs short. Alex Wharf the pick of the Glamorgan bowlers

Glamorgan 162-7
Hemp 43, Lewis 3-21, Averis 3-25
Gloucestershire 130
Hancock 56, Wharf 3-23
