Lancashire Edge Essex in Last-Ball Thriller Despite Low-Scoring Drama

Lancashire clinched a tense four-wicket win over Essex in a low-scoring encounter at Chelmsford, chasing 108 in a match filled with drama and tight bowling. Eve Jones anchored the innings with a composed 59 off 58 balls, guiding Lancashire close before last-ball wides sealed the result. Essex, bowled out for 107, fought fiercely in defense, led by Eva Gray and Maddie Penna. Earlier, Mahika Gaur’s fiery spell of 3 for 22, including two early ducks, wrecked Essex’s top order. Lancashire wicketkeeper Ellie Threlkeld set a new competition record with six dismissals. Despite Essex’s spirited effort, two final wides handed victory to the Red Rose in a gripping finish.
