In the run chase, Yorkshire lost Adam Lyth early on and Tom Kohler-Cadmore scored an impressive 81, continuing his great run of form and enabling Yorkshire to win a thrilling run chase, despite Ravi Rampaul bowling brilliantly for his spell taking 5-48 for Derbyshire. Matt Fisher (24*) saw them home with some lusty blows at the death, needing 10 off the last over and 24 off just eight balls.
