Richard Gleeson struck twice in a telling 18th over as Lancashire, defending 214, came from behind to take a giant step towards the Vitality Blast quarter-finals with a thrilling Roses win by four runs at Headingley.
Tom Kohler-Cadmore smashed 77 off 43 balls from number three, and the Vikings were in control at 184 for four in the 17th over before losing three wickets in eight balls, including David Willey for 52 caught and bowled by Gleeson, who conceded only five and struck twice (193 for seven).
Luke Wood also conceded only four in the penultimate, leaving Danny Lamb defending 17 off the last.
That became five off the last ball with Dominic Drakes on strike, and he carved out to deep backward point boundary, where Tom Hartley took a superb catch which had to be reviewed as the 11,300 crowd went silent thinking he may have stepped on the rope.
Yorkshire finished on 209 for eight as Lancashire – 213 for five – strengthened top spot in the North Group with a sixth win in seven games. This was Yorkshire’s third defeat in seven.
