Lancashire vs Birmingham Bears, 1st Match, Emirates T20 Trophy, 2017 - HighlightsLANCS vs BIRM, 1st Match, Emirates T20 Trophy, 2017 - Highlights

Chris Wright to J Clark, out Caught by Rikki Clarke!! In quest of quick runs, the Lancs are losing their balance. Not a great ball from Wright. He missed the yorker by quite a margin. It was in the slot for Clark to swing his bat. He miscues the heave across the line and gifts one of the easiest catches to Clarke at deep mid-wicket. J Clark c Rikki Clarke b Chris Wright 12(13) [4s-1]

Hannon-Dalby to J Clark, out Lilley Run Out!! 1 run completed. Another one bites the dust - this time thanks to a run-out. Another delivery from Hannon-Dalby on the pads. Clark nudges it through square leg. Lilley wants the second run and is sent back by his partner. A good flat throw finds him short despite a dive. Lilley run out (Javid/Thomason) 2(2)

Chris Wright to J Clark, FOUR, shot! Short ball, Clark picks the length early and pulls it away behind square on the leg-side by swivelling across. The ball races away

Barker to Lamb, out Caught by Ambrose!! He's walking off. Lamb is walking. Doesn't see the umpire. A short of length delivery angling across the right-hander, Lamb sticks his bat out and gets a feather on the outside edge. The keeper gobbles it up and has a polite query. The umpire was in no mood to give that out. Lamb c Ambrose b Barker 0(1)

Barker to Rob Jones, out Caught by Thomason!! Jones perishes looking to play the big shot. Off-pace length ball, Jones crouches low and attempts the hoick across the line. Doesn't time it and ends up ballooning up in the air off the toe end. Thomason at mid-wicket settles under it and takes it with ease. Rob Jones c Thomason b Barker 15(14) [4s-1]

Barker to Rob Jones, FOUR, short and wide outside off, Jones rocks back and slashes it away wide of backward point. A couple of bounces into the fence

Rikki Clarke to Karl Brown, out Caught&Bowled!! Wow, he made that look so easy. Fullish ball on off, Brown backs away and looks to slap it down the ground. Doesn't get sufficient elevation. Clarke, in his followthrough, takes a good catch to his left with both hands. Excellent reflexes. Karl Brown c and b Rikki Clarke 31(25) [4s-2 6s-1]

Javid to Karl Brown, SIX, superb shot! Tossed up delivery, Brown dances down, gets to the pitch and lifts it handsomely over long-on for a maximum

Hannon-Dalby to Karl Brown, FOUR, pacy short ball, Brown swivels across and pulls it backward of square on the leg-side. He was in total control of the shot. The ball raced away

Hannon-Dalby to Livingstone, out Caught by Barker!! He perishes. Keeps going through with his shots looking to dispatch them into the grass banks but for a change doesn't get his timing right. Hannon-Dalby bangs it in short again but with all the pace this time to soar it on the head. A miscues pull takes the top edge to a backing away deep mid-wicket. Ends a real breezer of a knock. Livingstone c Barker b Hannon-Dalby 52(29) [4s-4 6s-4]

Hannon-Dalby to Karl Brown, FOUR, a walk down. Realizes he isn't all that close and adjusts in the end to wait on his wristy loft and clips it in the air. How does it matter? There is no one at mid-on or behind it

Poysden to Livingstone, SIX, all too easy now. Three balls - three maximums. Not a bad way to get to your half-century. Waits in his adopting stance and plunders it off a flat bat. The cow corner is kept busy in getting the ball back from the plants

Poysden to Livingstone, SIX, overcompensates. Makes up for his full toss with one dragged half way down the track. And Livingstone opens his stance up as he sits and hoicks it away. More of the maximums in the favoured cow corner area

Poysden to Livingstone, SIX, a delicious full toss. Sits up and dispatches with utter disdain. Into the shrubs over mid-wicket off a full-blooded mow

Poysden to Livingstone, FOUR, a rank long hop. A real warm up delivery. Half way down the track and Livingstone opens himself up to hammer his swat past the bowler

Chris Wright to Procter, out Caught by Ambrose!! A soft dismissal. Procter attempts a fierce cut but a smart change of pace from Wright makes him stretch out and more importantly wait on his commitment. Gets the faintest of nicks off the outside edge to the keeper. An end to a real breezer of a stand. Birmingham find their moment of relief. Procter c Ambrose b Chris Wright 24(14) [4s-4 6s-1]

Rikki Clarke to Procter, FOUR, goes slower. And fuller. Too slow though as Procter picks it right off the palms and waits on it to carve it down the ground. 18 off the over. Brings up the 50 for his side as well

Rikki Clarke to Procter, FOUR, more of the same. Clarke refuses to relent with his length. Keeps digging it in short and without any sort of carry in this track allows Procter to flat bat it. Again

Rikki Clarke to Procter, FOUR, Clarke keeps banging it short. And Procter keeps introducing the ball to the fence. Stands tall, gets on top of the ball's head and unleashes a fierce pull in smashing it to the fence around the corner

Rikki Clarke to Procter, SIX, smoked. Gives the fielder out there at the square leg fence some hope before refusing to come down and tease him over his head. All off a swishy pull

Barker to Livingstone, FOUR, and he piles it on. This time going back conventional. Walks out, gets all the space to free his arms and spanks it through the line. Shoots away to the fence - the long-off one

Barker to Livingstone, FOUR, oh dear. Talk about making your own shots. Livingstone now doing it to perfection. Walks across, gets himself well inside the line and off an angled blade ramps it past the left hand of the outstretched keeper

Barker to Livingstone, FOUR, the scoop comes out right. Crouches, sits and swipes his bat horizontally with the face upwards. Imparts enough momentum on it to take it over the keeper's head. That's all he had to do

Rikki Clarke to Livingstone, SIX, here comes the max. Talk of spoiling a bowler's figures. Steps out with his stride, gets right under the ball and tonks it through the line. Showing it the full face in doing so. Flies all the way

Rikki Clarke to Procter, FOUR, that's more like it. The first big hit of this tourney. Gets a juicy wide one off a dragged back length. All the time for Procter to free his arms as he slaps it square

Rikki Clarke to Alex Davies, out Lbw!! A strike. The tournament has its first wicket without a run on the board. And he gets there with a sharp inswinger. After setting Davies with a few wide ones, he gets one to zip back in off a much fuller length. The surprise delivery. Too quick for the flick to come out right and pins him bang in front. Going down leg? Maybe just. Doesn't matter a bit though. Alex Davies lbw b Rikki Clarke 0(4)
