Lancashire 319/8 Sussex 254
Lancashire staged two remarkable comebacks at The 1st Central County Ground to beat Sussex by 65 runs and reach the final of the Royal London Cup, their first 50-over final since 2006.
Lancashire had chosen to bat first but had cause to regret their decision when their top order was blown away by the Sussex seam attack, but they would recover to score 319/8.
The Sussex innings lost some momentum when Orr’s 65-ball 71 came to an end, the second of three wickets for Liam Hurt, Rawlins scored 23 from 14 balls he hit 2 fours and a six, but Sussex were bowled out for 254.
