Roses T20 abandoned at Emirates Old Trafford
The Roses Vitality Blast match at Emirates Old Trafford was abandoned without a ball bowled for the second successive year.
Persistent rain throughout the afternoon in Manchester abated briefly before the scheduled 7pm start time but returned to force umpires Alex Wharf and Rob White to abandoned the match just before 7.15pm.
This was Lancashire’s third No Result in their last four games, including a second in as many nights having been rained off at Derbyshire last night. They have moved to 15 points from 12 games and remain second placed in the North Group and on course for the quarter-finals with two to play.
This result was more problematic for Yorkshire, who now have 11 points from 12 games and remain outside the top four.
They will have to win their remaining two fixtures to have any chance of qualification.
