George Scrimshaw holds final-over nerves to guide Derbyshire past Lancashire

George Scrimshaw was Derbyshire’s hero as they held off Lancashire in a last-over thriller in the Vitality Blast.

Tim David appeared to be firing Lancashire to victory in their chase of 189, making 42 off 23 balls, but after he took a single from the first ball of Scrimshaw’s final over the seamer – who had conceded 48 off his previous three overs – successfully defended the 10 runs still required, aided by the wicket of Rob Jones.

Steven Croft (47) and Luke Wells (42) also impressed for the visitors after Shan Masood hit 75 and Wayne Madsen 70 in Derbyshire’s 188 for eight.

Birmingham Bears recovered from three for two to hammer Worcestershire by 144 runs.

Mitchell Stanley removed Alex Davies and Sam Hain for ducks but Adam Hose hit an unbeaten 110 from 53 balls, with 13 fours and four sixes, and was well supported by Dan Mousley with 53 in a huge total of 228 for eight.

Danny Briggs then took four for 25 as Worcestershire were bowled out for 84, Colin Munro offering the only resistance with 34.

Harry Brook and Matthew Waite led the way as Yorkshire beat Northamptonshire by 62 runs.

Brook smashed 67 off 31 balls, with four fours and four sixes, as Yorkshire recovered from 11 for three to 190 for seven.

That total also featured three scores in the 30s including 35 not out from Waite, a T20 career best, and he then duplicated that feat with the ball by taking three for 18 as Northants were bowled out for 128.

Dan Christian survived a final-over scare as Notts Outlaws beat Durham by two runs in a game reduced to 11 overs a side.

Notts posted 98 for nine in their delayed innings, Steven Mullaney with 34 not out off 23 balls and Tom Moores 25 off 11 as Ben Raine took three for 12.

Durham needed 16 off Christian’s final six
