6.27pm Ricardo Vasconcelos plays an absolute blinder to deny Yorkshire in their victory push. He finishes 129 not out, Adam Lyth's 4 for 56 ends up being thwarted. Thanks for joining ESPNcricinfo's Bank Holiday County Cricket pop-up comms. See you next time, whenever that may be!

56.5

Revis to Vasconcelos, no run, kneels into a compact punched drive, out to deep cover. That will be that!

56.4

Revis to Vasconcelos, no run, bouncer again, not the right option for a man who doesn't want to play a shot. Yorkshire need to strike with each of these remaining balls

56.3

Revis to Vasconcelos, no run, yorker, better option, but calmly met. Two more balls to survive...

56.2

Revis to Vasconcelos, no run, too short, leg-sided, a flinch inside the line, two dots dotted up

Slip, short leg, silly point, leg gully

56.1

Revis to Vasconcelos, no run, round the wicket, banged in short. No need to go after that

END OF OVER:
56 | 6 Runs | NHNTS: 250/8

Mark: "@Alex Can you imagine Colin Milburn, David Shepherd or Mervyn Kitchen running a 2K time-trial? :-) They'd have needed an ambulance." Or Azam Khan for that matter

55.6

Leech to Kaul, no run, chastened, and leaves alone outside off. Vasco punches the bat in satisfaction
