Vitality Blast: Harry Brook stars as thrilling Roses contest ends in tie

Yorkshire batter Harry Brook was dismissed with the final ball as an enthralling Roses T20 Blast game against Lancashire ended in a tie.

Brook (72) and Tom Kohler-Cadmore (67) had taken Yorkshire to the brink of victory before Richard Gleeson trapped the former lbw as they finished on 183-5.

The pair came together with Yorkshire in trouble on 56-3 after losing Dawid Malan and Joe Root cheaply early on.

But they put on 115 for the fourth wicket before Kohler-Cadmore was run out and Brook could not quite get his side home.

Earlier, opener Phil Salt's 59 from 41 balls had helped Lancashire post 183-7.

Lightning enjoyed a good start and had raced to 44-0 when Keaton Jennings departed at the end of the fourth over, before Adil Rashid dismissed Steven Croft for 13 in a tidy opening spell.

They went past 100 at the end of the 12th over thanks to a huge Liam Livingstone maximum but Yorkshire then started to fight back with Livingstone (23), Salt and Dane Vilas all departing in quick succession.

That brought Tim David to the crease and he showed his hitting ability with a couple of big sixes in the closing overs, reaching 35 from 18.

The momentum was with the hosts as Yorkshire suffered an early blow with the loss of Malan for five in the second over and Adam Lyth followed in the fourth, both dismissed by Luke Wood.

It went from bad to worse when Root top-edged a Matt Parkinson delivery to depart for three from five balls to leave his side struggling.

The partnership of Brook and Kohler-Cadmore was vital to keep Yorkshire in the game and they looked set to be guiding their side to a memorable win when Gleeson bowled a no-ball in the final over, but the bowler redeemed himself with the final delivery in a gripping finale.

Durham made an encouraging start as they began their pursuit with opener Graham Clark scoring 54 from 30 balls along with good contributions from David Bedingham (31) and Michael Jones (26).
