England captain Joe Root brought a commendable act of sportsmanship to one of English sport's oldest rivalries on Saturday ? although plenty of Yorkshire fans might feel he let Lancashire all-rounder Steven Croft off lightly. Chasing a meagre 128-7 to win in the T20 Blast Roses match at Old Trafford ? Root having top-scored with 32 for the visitors ? Lancashire slumped to 64-5 in the eighth over. Croft (26 not out) and Luke Wells (30) embarked upon a rebuilding job that left Dane Villas' side needing 18 from 15 deliveries, at which point Croft collapsed to the ground mid-pitch when trying to run quick single.
