Worcestershire vs Lancashire, North Group - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

That is it from another game in the T20 Blast. The North group has seen Worcestershire move northwards and they are now second on the points table. They are the fifth team to be on 12 points. Lancashire have slipped to third on the table and their winning streak of three games has ended. They would look to bounce back and they certainly have the resources to do so. It is time up for the moment. But we will come back tomorrow with more action. Bye bye bye...

20:14 Local Time, 19:14 GMT, 00:44 IST: Lancashire have been humbled here. Buttler, Salt, Mitchell, Livingstone et all. This was the batting line up that Lancashire boasted of but they huffed and puffed to 164 thanks to Buttler's fifty. They lost early wickets and never could muster a big total. Needing 165 to win, Santner and Haynes put up 81 runs for the second wicket to set up the chase. Santner missed his fifty but Haynes carried on to get the Worcestershire team very close to a victory. In the end, Adam Hose and Kashif Ali finished it off quite easily as the deck was very batting friendly in the second half of the game.
