Yorkshire (White Rose) (women) vs Lancashire (Red Rose) (women) – match 72, League One – at Headingley, Leeds (Yorks) on Saturday 12 September 2026
Billed by commentators as an ‘historic Roses match,’ both teams with insufficient points to qualify beyond the competition’s group stage. Batting first, Lauren Winfield-Hill [90runs (from101 runs)] played a ’skipper’s innings’ in vain with five double-figure partnerships for White Rose, closing short of a defendable score. Following a short delay for light rain between innings, Lancs women staged three substantive partnerships. Openers Eve Jones 77(97) and Gaby Lewis 25(37) banked 83 runs. Fourth match-winning partnership was also notable as new batter Fi Morris – pictured – who struck three ‘fours’ from four balls; partnered by skipper Ellie Threkeld (31*not out) who scored the winning ‘single’ to seal Lancs ‘Red Rose’ womens’ win. Post-match, Kate Cross and Fi Morris were congratulated on their ‘fantastic professional cricketing careers,’ having both played their final match this season for Lancs women. Commentators for Yorks Cricket Live Stream were Mike McCann (Sports journalist) with Aaron Viles (Cricketfanaticsmag.com) and Dr Jane Powell (Performance Manager England Disability Cricket at ECB; & President at Yorkshire CCC) Weather: Pre-match rain. Started on time, but rain returned between innings.
