In the third quarterfinal of the ongoing Friends Life t20 tournament, Yorkshire have amassed an amazing total of 212 runs in 20 overs after choosing to bat first against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Worcestershire-c866, at Headingley, Leeds.
The side, however, failed to get off to a flying start as they suffered the loss of their first wicket with only five runs on the board, as PA Jaques got run out on a score of two runs.
Skipper AW Gale and middle-order batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JE-Root-c66745 then took charge as they hammered the bowlers all around the park in a bid to take out the sting from the bowling brigade.
The batsmen exhibited their phenomenal understanding of the pitch, disallowing the bowlers to have the better of them.
Finally with a tally of 64 on the board, the batting side suffered the demise of their second wicket with the departure of their skipper on a score of 30 runs off 23 deliveries.
While Root kept his cool, he lost JM Bairstow with a total of 74 runs on the board, as the batsman was removed by DKH http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mitchell-c76390 after scoring a knock of two runs off six deliveries.
With this wicket, Worcestershire must have thought they were going to reign supreme, but the partnership between Root and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DA-Miller-c1300 prevented that from happening, as they took charge and punished the bowlers without a hint of remorse.
The duo was extremely effective as it kept the scoreboard ticking, without letting the fielding side gain an upper hand.
After conceding 126 runs, Worcestershire broke the lethal partnership by dismissing Root, who met his doom after forging an astounding knock of 65 runs off 40 deliveries.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Miller-c76318 and GS Ballance then took the score to 173 runs, after which Miller became the fifth and final wicket to fall from his side, as he hit the showers after hammering a potent half century off 25 deliveries.
Ballance stayed unbeaten on a knock of 46 runs off 20 deliveries as Yorkshire posted a nerve-wracking total on the board.
