Cornwall v Herefordshire T20 (3)
There was a win apiece at Werrington on Bank Holiday Monday following an overnight stopover at Exeter. Herefordshire were restricted to 84-8 losing their last five wickets for two runs. We were struggling at 17-4 off five overs but Will MacVicar’s crucial 37 set up the win with eight balls to spare.
The visitors made 126 all out the second time around losing their last five wickets to Dan Lello for the addition of six runs. At 91-2 with five overs to go we looked in control but the Paul Smith (40) and MacVicar (24) stand was broken and it fell apart as we lost five wickets in 19 balls. Tommy Sturgess hit successive sixes in the penultimate over but was out next ball and the task of eleven off the final over proved too much as we ended five runs short.
