There were 430 runs at Chesterfield as Yorkshire staged a stunning late comeback to almost snatch an improbable victory over Derbyshire.
The home side racked up 215-9, their seventh highest T20 total, with Wayne Madsen (62) sharing in stands of 69 with Martin Andersson (51) and 44 with Ross Whiteley (36).
The last two overs cost just eight runs, a stark contrast to what was to come at the end of Yorkshire’s innings.
The visitors lost openers Jonny Bairstow (0) and Adam Lyth (5) cheaply, found themselves 95-5 in the 12th over, and were 179-8, still 37 runs short, with two overs to go.
But Matthew Revis went into overdrive, hitting Ben Aitchison for two sixes before doing the same to Akif Javed, and then scrambling a single to mid-off from the final ball to tie the game, the first such result of the competition this season.
That result allowed Nottinghamshire to move to the top of the table, as they beat Leicestershire by 74 runs at Grace Road.
George Munsey scored a third successive T20 Blast half-century, following up his 53 against Derbyshire earlier this month and Friday’s 82 not out against Kent with an unbeaten 75 in this one.
George Linde hit 55 from just 22 balls before he was run out off the penultimate delivery of Nottinghamshire’s 209-4.
In reply, Leicestershire lost wickets with regularity, with only Rehan Ahmed (45 off 23 balls) and Ben Mike (39 off 24) offering much resistance.
