2:07 AM (IST), 9:38 PM (Local Time): So that’s that and it’s the Birmingham Bears that have secured the win by 4 runs!
Batting first, the Bears put up an above decent first innings total of 180/7 from 20 overs.
Although skipper Alex Yates was dismissed cheaply for 15 (9) by Matthew Revis, the duo of Rob Yates and Chris Benjamin managed to add a quickfire 60 run stand that kept things going for their side.
Benjamin played the role of an aggressor courtesy his 45 (27), which contributed six fours, a six and a strike rate of 166.66. Meanwhile, Rob Yates anchored his way through as he remained right till the end with a score of 66 (51).
Australian international Glenn Maxwell also tonked a few as he struck a breezy 21 (10). The rest of the batters didn’t have much to offer as Yorkshire kept chipping in with the wickets at regular intervals.
Matthew Revis did well with his spell of 2/36 from four overs, meanwhile, David Wiese, Jordan Thompson and Dom Bess chipped in with a wicket apiece.
As for the run chase, it started off in an underwhelming manner for Yorkshire. Dawid Malan did manage to strike a four and a six early on in the innings but failed to take the momentum forward as he was sent back by Glenn Maxwell for 13 (7). James Wharton was the next man to fall for 4 (4) as edged one to first slip during Chris Woakes’ over.
With the score being at 37-2 from 4 overs, Yorkshire needed a partnership to stabilize the innings. Adam Lyth and Sham Masood did try to consolidate in the middle but could only string 39 runs together before Lyth got dismissed to Dan Mousley for 34 (32).
Shan Masood was left bamboozled by Jake Lintott as he failed to pick the slider and was bowled at 21 (17).
However, it was then the duo of Jordan Thompson and Matthew Revis who showed a bit of character and resistance courtesy a 54 run partnership. Thompson stormed his way through 34 (20) but was eventually dismissed by one of the all time great catches that was taken by Jacob Bethell at long on.
One has to say, that had that catch not been taken by Bethell in Dan Mousley’s over to dismiss the dangerous Thompson, then Yorkshire would have well been in contention of going over the finish line.
As for Matthew Revis, he was sent back to the hut by Chris Woakes for 32 (21) after handing one to the fielder at deep square leg.
Dom Bess 10 (3) and David Wiese 20 (9) did add some spice towards the final few overs with some massive hits, but it was too little too late for them as the Bears registered the win.
Dan Mousley was the star of the show as he bowled a spectacular spell of 4/28 from his four overs. Chris Woakes proved to be reliable as well with his 2/22 from four. Glenn Maxwell and Jake Lintott also got into the act with a wicket apiece.
That being said, we were all entertained with some great batting, bowling and fielding on display that got us to the edge of our seats.

19.6 H Brookes to D Wiese
6 SIXX! In the arc of Wiese and he clobbers that for a maximum. But it doesn't matter. The Bears have won this contest by just 4 runs in Headingley. Fuller and angled into the middle stump line, Wiese clears his front leg and launches that through the air as the ball sails over the long-off fence for a maximum.
19.5 H Brookes to D Wiese
0 Fuller again just inside the offside tramline with the pace being taken off, Wiese misses the heave to the keeper. Hang on, the replays shows the ball was well outside the tramline. Poor umpiring and Wiese is not at all happy with that call.
19.5 H Brookes to D Wiese
WD WIDE! Brookes errs in line now. Just 11 runs required now from 2. Fuller and outside the offside tramline, Wiese lets it go to the keeper.
19.4 H Brookes to D Wiese
6 SIXX MORE! Wiese is breathing fire at the moment. Short of a length delivery and on the top of middle and off, Wiese swivels and hoicks that across the line as the ball eludes the leaping deep backward square leg for a maximum. Yorkshire need two more sixes to win the contest from the jaws of defeat.
19.3 H Brookes to D Wiese
6 IN THE AIR AND SIXX! This game is not over yet. A full toss delivery on the middle stump line, Wiese swings that across with full extension of the arms as the ball sails over the deep mid-wicket region for a maximum.
19.2 H Brookes to D Wiese
2lb Good length delivery on the leg stump, Wiese looks to flick that away but wears that on his thigh pads as the ball rolls to deep fine leg for a couple off the leg byes.
19.1 H Brookes to J Chohan
1b Over the wicket. Short of a length and outside off, Chohan misses the heave to the keeper and scampers across for a single off byes.
Yorkshire needs 27 runs off the final over.

18.6 D Mousley to J Chohan
1 Fuller on the pads, Chohan toe ends heave down to long-on for a single to end the over.
18.5 D Mousley to D Bess
W BOWLED 'EM! Mousley has the final laugh here. Fuller and quicker on the middle and off stump line, Bess again sits down on one knee and looks to slog sweep that but misses the line completely and sees his stumps being rattled. Bess departs for 10.
18.4 D Mousley to D Bess
6 SIXX NOW! Bess is on a roll here. Tossed fuller and outside off, Bess gets down on one knee again and clobbers that across the line over deep mid-wicket for a maximum.
18.3 D Mousley to D Bess
4 FOUR! Bess is off the mark with a boundary. A low full toss outside off, Bess shuffles across, gets down on one knee and swipes that behind square for a boundary.
