Jos Buttler is now BOOSTED to 11/4 to top score for Lancashire as they face bitter Roses rivals Yorkshire in T20 Blast
England all-format batter Jonny Bairstow was the star of the show with an extraordinary 116 from 54 balls for Yorkshire, his 10 6s and eight 4s powering his side to a 19-run victory.
He was helped by a 90 not out from Will Luxton, while Jordan Thompson picked up the key wickets of Phil Salt and Jos Buttler in Lancashire's attempted chase of 237.
Buttler looked good to go big on 55 off 33 balls when he was dismissed, having smashed one six and seven fours to pass his half century, but fell with his side still 113 short of their target.
He did however top score for his side, with Salt (38), Jack Blatherwick (34) and Ashton Turner (33) also putting in decent numbers.
Now, ahead of their second clash, Buttler has been boosted by Sky Bet to do the same this time round.

Pubs can stay open until 1am for England vs Italy Euros semi final
Pubs will be allowed to stay open late after England faces Italy in tomorrow's semi-final of the UEFA Women's European Championships. Licensing hours have been temporarily relaxed to allow premises which would normally have to close at 11pm to keep serving until 1am in England and Wales. The government announced the measure earlier this year, saying it would apply if either England or Wales reached the semi-finals. Pub licensing hours can be relaxed to mark events which have been deemed to have 'exceptional national significance'. The same extended hours will apply if England progresses to the final on Sunday, July 27. Policing minister Diana Johnson said at the time: 'Nothing quite brings people together like watching our national football teams, which is why we want fans to be able to enjoy every minute of these matches.' More Trending The Lionesses are hoping to lift the trophy as reigning champions for the first time, having taken it home in Wembley in 2022. They will kick off against Italy at 8pm UK time at the Stade de Geneve in Geneva, Switzerland. England have gone unbeaten in their last five games against Italy, four of which were victories, including a 5-1 battering in February 2024. Got a story?

38 new courts to be built at Wimbledon after legal victory
Plans to significantly expand the Wimbledon tennis site are set to proceed after a High Court judge dismissed a legal challenge against the proposals. The All England Club 's plans include constructing 38 new tennis courts and an 8,000-seat stadium on the grounds of the former Wimbledon Park Golf Club. Save Wimbledon Park (SWP) had launched legal action against the Greater London Authority's (GLA) decision to grant planning permission, arguing the site was a Grade II*-listed heritage area with usage restrictions. Mr Justice Saini ruled that the GLA's decision to approve the plans was a 'planning judgment rationally exercised', rejecting SWP's claim that it was 'irrational'. The expansion aims to allow Wimbledon qualifiers to be held on-site, alongside creating new public parkland and a boardwalk around Wimbledon Lake.

Wimbledon expansion set to proceed after campaign group loses legal challenge
Plans to almost triple the size of the Wimbledon site are set to proceed after a campaign group's legal challenge against the decision to approve the proposals was dismissed by a High Court judge. Save Wimbledon Park (SWP) took legal action against the Greater London Authority's (GLA) decision to grant planning permission last year. The proposals, submitted by the All England Club, would see the construction of 38 new tennis courts and an 8,000-seat stadium on the grounds of the former Wimbledon Park Golf Club, allowing it to host Wimbledon qualifiers on-site. Barristers for SWP told the High Court earlier this month that the decision to approve the plans was 'irrational' and should be quashed, as Wimbledon Park – a Grade II*-listed heritage site partly designed by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown – was covered by restrictions on how it could be used. The GLA and the All England Club defended the challenge, with the court told that the decision was a 'planning judgment properly exercised' and that the restrictions were not 'material'. In a ruling on Monday, Mr Justice Saini dismissed the challenge. He said: 'In short, the defendant's decision on the relevance of deliverability, applying to both the statutory trust and the restrictive covenants, was a planning judgment rationally exercised and having regard to appropriate and relevant factors.' Following the ruling, SWP said it has been 'advised that it should' seek to challenge the decision, and that it believed the GLA 'did make a significant legal error in the way it dealt with the special legal status of the park'. The proposals would see seven maintenance buildings, access points, and an area of parkland with permissive public access constructed, in addition to the courts and associated infrastructure. They would also include work on Wimbledon Lake. After Merton Council approved the plans, but Wandsworth Council rejected them, the Mayor of London's office took charge of the application but Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan recused himself from the process after previously expressing public support for the development. Planning permission for the scheme was granted by Jules Pipe, London's deputy mayor for planning, who said that the proposals 'would facilitate very significant benefits' which 'clearly outweigh the harm'. Debbie Jevans, chair of the All England Club, said at the time that the proposals would deliver 27 acres of 'newly accessible parkland for the community'. In written submissions, Sasha White KC said that the All England Club acquired the freehold for the golf course in 1993 and the leasehold in 2021. The barrister told the two-day hearing in London that the land was subject to a 'statutory trust requiring it to be kept available for public recreation use' and that when the freehold was acquired, the club entered into 'restrictive covenants' governing its use. He said this meant any plans could not 'restrict its use so as not to impair the appreciation of the general public of the extent or openness of the golf course land'. He continued that separate High Court proceedings were ongoing over whether a statutory trust existed, and that if it does, the All England Club has 'accepted' that this is 'incompatible with the development of the proposal'. A hearing in that case is due to take place in January 2026. In court, he said: 'You could not have a more protected piece of land within the planning system, frankly.' Mark Westmoreland Smith KC, for the GLA, said in written submissions that Mr Pipe received 'detailed advice' over the 'relevance' of the 'alleged' trust and covenants, and made his decision on the assumption that they existed. The barrister said that the decision was a 'planning judgment properly exercised and having regard to the appropriate and relevant factors'. He said that planning officers 'advised that the alleged obstacle' that the restrictions would present 'was not itself a material consideration'. In his written arguments, Russell Harris KC, for the All England Club, said that planning officers 'acknowledged and had regard to' the trust and covenants. In his 31-page ruling, Mr Justice Saini said that the authority 'properly considered the implications of the development on public open space'. Christopher Coombe, director of SWP, said following the judgment: 'This judgment would, if it stands, set a worrying precedent for the unwanted development of protected green belt and public open spaces around London and across the country. 'The (All England Club) will surely have noted the considerable public outrage about this development, most recently expressed outside the law courts, and we continue to hope that they could be persuaded to engage constructively with us, with a view to achieving a resolution of this four-year-old dispute.' Sir Sadiq said: 'This is welcome news that will cement Wimbledon's reputation as the greatest tennis competition in the world and London as the sporting capital of the world. 'This scheme will bring a significant range of economic, social, cultural and environmental benefits to the local area, the wider capital and the UK economy, creating new jobs and green spaces.' Ms Jevans said in a statement that the All England Club was 'delighted' with the ruling. She said: 'It is clear that we have a robust planning permission that enables us to create a permanent home for the Wimbledon qualifying competition as well as delivering 27 acres of beautiful new parkland for local people, providing public access to land that has been a private golf course for over 100 years. 'We have spoken to more than 10,000 people who have taken the time to come in person and understand our plans in detail. 'The vast majority of people just want us to get on and deliver the many benefits on offer as soon as possible.'
