Another Roses Triumph

For the third time in this rain-interrupted season, Yorkshire have earned themselves a victory against their Roses rivals of Lancashire, with each win coming in each of the three domestic competitions. In all probability, this narrow success has come too late to rescue the Tykes' flagging Twenty20 fortunes, but at least it will have sent the large majority of the support home with smiles on their faces.
