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.

Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez attracting overseas transfer interest
Darwin Nunez is attracting interest from AC Milan and Al Hilal, with Liverpool reportedly willing to sell the striker for the right price. Liverpool recently signed Hugo Ekitike for £69m and had a £110m bid for Alexander Isak rejected by Newcastle. Nunez, Liverpool's club-record signing in 2022, scored only seven goals in 47 appearances last season, often featuring as a substitute. AC Milan has raised funds from player sales, potentially enabling a move for Nunez, following an earlier bid from Napoli. Liverpool is set to raise significant transfer funds this summer, with Tyler Morton nearing a £15m move to Lyon and West Ham and Wolves interested in Ben Doak.

Futures Bet: England are 5/2 outsiders to win The Ashes in Australia later this year - as Brendon McCullum's side look to put Monday's dramatic fifth Test loss to India behind them
In what was one of the most dramatic, thrilling and intense finishes to a Test match in recent memory, India defeated England by six runs on Day Five at The Oval to draw the series 2-2.

Meanwhile, Australia are odds-on favourites at 1/2 to claim their fourth straight Ashes series win on home soil. Lastly, for those anticipating a drawn series, that is the widest result in the market at 7/1 odds. Sky Bet odds to win The Ashes (2025-26): Australia 1/2 England 5/2 Draw 7/1
