The Blaze 151 for 6 (Kelly 66, Langston 3-43) beat Yorkshire 150 (Glenn 30, Phillips 3-29) by four wickets

Skipper Marie Kelly led the way with a fourth half-century of the competition as The Blaze reinforced their position at the top of the points table in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup women's competition with a four-wicket victory over Yorkshire at Chesterfield.

Yorkshire - one of only two teams to beat The Blaze this season - were no match this time, dismissed for 150 in 42.3 overs.

Kelly made sure The Blaze overhauled their target with almost 20 overs to spare, picking up a bonus point for good measure to go with four for the win. England Under-19 international Prisha Thanawala made an attractive 30, Yorkshire's Beth Langston taking 3 for 48.

Sarah Glenn top-scored for the White Rose with 30 against her former team-mates. The Blaze seamer Charley Phillips - the competition's leading wicket-taker - took 3 for 29 although the standout bowling performance was delivered by 18-year-old left-arm spinner Maria Andrews, who sent down four maidens in her 10 overs, finishing with two wickets for just 20 runs.

Having chosen to bat on a green surface, Yorkshire suffered a double early setback and rapidly stumbled to 60 for 5. Both openers departed with the score on 6, Ami Campbell miscuing to backward point before Lauren Winfield-Hill looped an easy return catch off a leading edge. Charli Knott dealt Yorkshire a major blow by bowling Australian compatriot Jess Jonassen off an inside edge.

Erin Thomas hit six fours and looked threatening but was trapped in front by Andrews. A fine throw from Prisha Thanawala ran out Alice Thomas.

Rebecca Duckworth and Glenn, the latter facing The Blaze for the first time since swapping Trent Bridge for Leeds, fought back but after the pair had added 59, Glenn sliced the first ball after a drinks break straight to backward point. Duckworth was then beaten in the flight and stumped as Andrews claimed a second scalp, just reward for a spell that combined control with no little skill.

Georgia Elwiss removed Langston and Ines Blackwell in consecutive overs before Phillips bagged her third, leaving The Blaze needing 151.

In reply, The Blaze seemed intent on knocking off the target as quickly as possible, perhaps mindful of the soaring temperature as well as a potential bonus point. A powerplay worth 59 runs cost three wickets, however - all of them to right-arm seamer Langston.She had Tammy Beaumont and Knott leg before on the back foot before bowling Elwiss through the gate.

Kelly and Michaela Kirk added 42 before drinks again brought a wicket, Kirk smartly caught behind off Glenn for 18. But 19-year-old Thanawala looked at ease from the outset, ramping her first two balls for four against England legspinner Glenn and went on to make an accomplished 30 off 36 balls.

In a late twist, she was run out and Kelly was leg before to Blackwell in consecutive balls but it was too little, too late for Yorkshire.
