SO near and yet so far.
On a pulsating night, Yorkshire fell five runs short of achieving their record chase in T20 cricket, finishing on 210-5 in pursuit of 215 to beat leaders Birmingham Bears. Going into the last two overs they needed 18 runs with six wickets left, and with Donovan Ferreira, their overseas player, unbeaten on a scintillating 66 from 31 balls.
Before a crowd of 6,331 on an overcast night, Yorkshire – whose highest T20 chase was the pursuit of 208 to beat Durham at Headingley two years ago – could not have made a better start. Dan Moriarty took a wicket with the first ball of the contest, bowling Ed Barnard during a powerplay of two halves – 17-1 after three overs; 67-1 after six. Davies and Mousley added 53 for the second wicket from 30 balls, Mousley chopping on a cover drive off Conor McKerr before Thompson trapped Davies.
