Lilley’s helping hand

Cricket:
DELPH off-spinner Arron Lilley took four wickets for 30 runs as Lancashire enhanced their prospects of reaching the Yorkshire Bank 40 semi–finals for the second year running with a resounding six–wicket win over Derbyshire at Emirates Old Trafford last night.

After comfortably chasing down 191, Lightning have now won four matches in a row in the 40–over format, with former South Africa international Ashwell Prince top–scoring with an unbeaten 80 off 75 balls.

Lilley did the early damage with four of the first six wickets, including Alex Hughes and Tom Poynton in the space of three balls in the 25th over.
