Davies has just hit 18 off the 5th over .... 31-0 after 5.1 overs ..

Yes he's determined to be positive I like that approach there's no point just blocking every ball, and if you can put pressure back on the bowlers then do it, already the target is down to just over 200 mainly due to his aggressive batting.

50 partnership in only 10 overs.

[Clarets4me]

73-0 off 15 overs ... drinks break, and 17 overs left tonight.

Very young bowling attack as well so good to put the pressure back on them and see how they do. So far so good.

[tiger76]

98-0 brilliant knock by Davies and handy support from Jennings, Lancs should be in the box seat from here, but a couple of wickets and it can easily swing again.

[Silkyskills1]

102 for1

[tiger76]

Yes Davies back in the hutch, but he's broken the back of this chase, and it's under 150 to win now.

[lakedistrictclaret]

Lancs finish on 124-2. A further 129 to win. Jennings and nightwatchman Mahmood will resume tomorrow.

[tiger76]

Shame about the 2 late wickets, but Lancs in a decent place to go on and complete a hard fought and important victory, vital that Jennings carries on playing the anchor role and allows the rest to play more attacking strokes. nearly halfway to the target already and every run that is ticked off will increase the pressure on their inexperienced attack.

[diamondpocket]

shame on that last wicket, looked a dubious LBW, looked to have hit Wells well outside off stump.

[Silkyskills1]

100 needed. 3 wickets down.

[Silkyskills1]

Sorry, 4 wickets down. Livingstone gone cheaply.

[onewillieirvine]

153/4...Mahmood and Livingstone gone.

[lakedistrictclaret]

Now 173-4. 80 to win.
Don't want to jinx anything, but Keaton Jennings is batting very sensibly. If he stays in, we win.

[lakedistrictclaret]

219-4, with 34 still needed.

Excellent partnership between Jennings and Bohannon.

[dandeclaret]

Message for cbt and tiger76..... don’t say anything...... about either game...... let’s just see where they go....

[Silkyskills1]

Lunch 228 for 5. 25 needed.

[bodge]

CBT and tiger 76 - What do you think of Lanky's chances in this game ?

[lakedistrictclaret]

Lancs win by 5 wickets.

[onewillieirvine]

Won by five wickets, top knock by Jennings 91 no.

[Silkyskills1]

5 wkt. win

[Clarets4me]

Great finish for " Minor Counties North " at Headingley, Northants need 14 and Yorkshire need 1 wicket, just gone off for rain ....

[Claretincraven]

Sorry to rain on your parade.... Yorkshire won by one run.

[Clarets4me]

Sorry to rain on your parade.... Yorkshire won by one run.

Au contraire, delighted to see both doing well !! ( Grannie born in Thirsk/ Grandpa from Liversedge, Cleckheaton )

[bodge]

Yorkshire win, 2 words you will see a lot this Summer

[dandeclaret]

I remember when you used to celebrate trophies..... now you’re celebrating 1 run wins over Northants.

You’ll be bigging up the blast wins next....

[tiger76]

Terrific win for Lancs, and surprisingly convincing in the end, great knock from Jennings to add to his 1st innings half century, and hopefully he'll kick on from this match and start regularly contributing runs at the top of the order.

Shame the lucky Yorkies held on to scrap a win over Northants, but they're still in Lancashire's shadow in the standings, makes that Roses contest at the end of May all the spicier if both are still competing for top spot in the section.

I also note Jos Buttler blasted a quickfire 100 in the IPL.

[Buxtonclaret]

Yorkshire win, 2 words you will see a lot this Summer

Win at what, bodge?
Thought they'd cancelled underwater tiddlywinks this year?

[Bordeauxclaret]

Yorkshire refusing to let their players be interviewed by Wisden Cricket Magazine after they ran an interview with an ex player who claimed racism was rife at the club.
Very classy.

Watched some of this on You Tube. Alex Davies is in a different league once he gets going. Absolute unplayable. Jennings looked very assured and never in trouble of getting out. Livingstone looked poor the moment he walked in. A special mention for the young spinner from Sussex, Carson. One to look out for here i think. He looked very good.
