Northamptonshire 301 (Procter 116*, Fernando 4-48) and 250 for 8 (Vasconcelos 129*, Lyth 4-56) drew with Yorkshire 362 (Lyth 109, Masood 60,Thompson 53) and 264 for 6 dec (Masood 131*, Sanderson 3-51)

Yorkshire had set up a tantalising run chase of challenging 326 to win in a little over two sessions, and when Vasconcelos warmed up for the T20 Blast game with 17 boundaries all around the ground, a home win looked a possibility.

But a dramatic clatter of wickets as Yorkshire's attack staged a late fightback set nerves jangling in the home dressing room, Vasconcelos had to switch gears to ensure his side held out for the draw, eight wickets down, in an innings full of character and maturity.

In an innings full of character and maturity Vasconcelos held his nerve as Northamptonshire saw out the draw.

Ultimately, though, the loss of 17 overs during two stoppages for rain took too much time out of the game, and the captains shook hands shortly after 6.20pm. The draw leaves both sides winless after seven games, Yorkshire taking 14 points and Northamptonshire 13.
