ADAM LYTH’S second List A century in two days fired Yorkshire to a record-breaking Royal London one-day Cup win over Lancashire at Emirates Old Trafford last night.

The Vikings opener smashed 136 off 92 balls in this floodlit encounter to underpin a 47-over total of 325-7, with DL later revising the home target to 327.

And it was a target Lancashire never got close to as they lost five wickets for four runs in 16 balls to slip from 64-2 to 68-7 on the way to being bowled out for 84 in 18 overs.

The 242-run margin on DL meant it was Yorkshire’s biggest ever winning margin in List A cricket and Lancashire’s biggest ever one-day defeat.

David Willey and left-arm spinner Karl Carver finished with three wickets apiece, with Carver finishing with 3-5 from three overs in his first competitive bowl of the season.

Adil Rashid and Tim Bresnan equalled shared the other four to fall as Lancashire’s last eight wickets, incredibly, fell for 20 runs in eight overs.

Lyth’s 12 fours and seven sixes contributed to a career best score, beating the 125 off 78 he scored against Northants at Scarborough on Tuesday.

Given he reached 100 there at 4.22pm and yesterday at 4.10pm, it meant he achieved the rare feat of posting two tons inside 24 hours.

He is the first Yorkshire batsman to score List A hundreds in successive days, but not the first in successive innings after Martyn Moxon in 1990 and Matthew Elliott in 2002.

Lancashire were given a glimmer of hope when they took four wickets for 35 to reduce Yorkshire from 250-3 to 285-7 when, at one stage, 350 plus was within range.

Lyth shared 65 for the first wicket with Alex Lees and 111 for the second with Kane Williamson (40) as Yorkshire moved to 176-1 inside 24 overs before the latter was run out.

He did have some luck on the way, being dropped on 83 and 121, with the latter being a simple chance at deep cover to Alviro Petersen, which he parried for six.

New Zealand international Martin Guptill gave Lancashire’s chase a boost with a breezy 45, including three sixes, but the rest of his team-mates could not follow suit in a limp performance which will worry their camp greatly.

Their coach Ashley Giles described the defeat as “embarrassing”.

Willey struck three times with the new ball, including twice in two balls in the eleventh over to get Jos Buttler caught behind for a duck and Steven Croft caught at point for a golden duck.

They were two of the five wickets to go for four runs in 16 balls as the score slumped from 64-2 in the 10th to 68-7 in the 13th.

Carver struck with his first ball in the 13th over when he had Luke Procter chipping tamely to mid-wicket as Lancashire imploded.

He later bowled Jordan Clark and had Stephen Parry stumped.

Although the pitch was good for batting on, it did take turn and Yorkshire’s bowlers utilised it much better than their hosts.

Yorkshire now have two wins and a No Result to their name from four RL50 matches. They host Nottinghamshire at Headingley tomorrow in the NatWest T20 Blast.
