Live: Roses double-header Vitality Blast blockbuster

Yorkshire and Lancashire meet twice at Emirates Old Trafford today. Our women are aiming for a third successive Vitality Blast victory, while a win for the men would seal a quarter-final place. Follow this page for live updates throughout the day.

Lancashire have fought back

Three wickets for Darcey Carter’s spin, now one for Venus Weerappuli.

She’s got Jess Jonassen caught at short fine-leg on the sweep for 33.

Sarah Glenn and Beth Langston in now at 138-5 in the 18th.

Yorkshire 115-4, 15 overs

Ami Campbell, for 64, has been caught at deep mid-wicket superbly by Fi Morris off Darcey Carter, who has a third wicket.

Sarah Glenn and Jess Jonassen, 17, now together.

Yorkshire 92-3, 11 overs

Sterre Kalis has been caught at long-off against the off-spin of Darcey Carter.

Jess Jonassen in now alongside Ami Campbell, 58.

Yorkshire 85-2, 10th over

Lauren Winfield-Hill has just swept Darcey Carter’s off-spin to deep backward square-leg.

Sterre Kalis in now alongside Ami Campbell on 52.

Campbell 50

Ami Campbell has just reached a 25-ball fifty, her first in first-team cricket this summer.

Yorkshire are going very nicely indeed at 82-1 after nine overs.

Yorkshire 69-1, 8th over

Erin Thomas caught Kate Cross bowled Fi Morris, 28.

Thomas drills the off-spin of Morris down the ground and is caught at long-on.

That ends our highest opening partnership in two years as a professional side.

Ami Campbell still there on 40, with Lauren Winfield-Hill in now.

 

Yorkshire 62-0, 6 overs

Ami Campbell has 39 and Erin Thomas 22.

There have been a number of shots over the top which have plugged in the outfield.

Campbell with two early sixes

Ami Campbell has hoisted two early sixes off Tara Norris and has 27 out of 39-0 after three overs.

She did similar at York last week but the White Rose failed to capitalise. They must do today.

 

Fast start

Yorkshire are 18-0 after nine balls, with Ami Campbell having hit three boundaries.

 

Campbell and Thomas opening

Ami Campbell and Erin Thomas are opening the batting once more for Yorkshire.

Tara Norris has the new ball.

No Sky coverage

Unfortunately, Sky Sports will no longer be televising the women’s game, so there will be a stream available.

It will be embedded at the top of the page.

Lancashire win it and bowl

Yorkshire: Ami Campbell, Erin Thomas, Jess Jonassen, Lauren Winfield-Hill c/w, Sterre Kalis, Sarah Glenn, Ines Blackwell, Beth Langston, Hannah Rainey, Holly Garton, Jess Woolston.

Looking forward to seeing this man in action this evening.

Good afternoon...

From a gloriously sunny Emirates Old Trafford.

Who says it always rains in Manchester, hey?!

We have a bumper day of action for you today, and one which has been highlighted on the calendar since the fixtures came out in late November.

Yorkshire’s women tackle Thunder from 3pm before our men take on the Lightning from 7pm.

Bragging rights are at stake, and that’s pretty much all there is on offer in the women’s game due to both sides being unable to qualify for Finals Day next week. With the men’s clash, though, prizes are very much up for grabs.

Even a tie, and we’ve had one of those before here, would secure Yorkshire’s passage through to the quarter-finals on Wednesday. Joe Root is available as the White Rose bid to complete the Blast double over Lancashire.

Our previews for this fixture are linked below; one with Lauren Winfield-Hill and Rich Pyrah and the other with Anthony McGrath and Adam Lyth.

There will be no stream available today due to these games being live on Sky Sports.

Enjoy the day.
