Cricket ball

York batsman Dan Wilson fell just 23 runs short of setting a new Yorkshire Premier League record of four consecutive centuries.

York overhauled Doncaster's 204-9 to win by seven wickets at Clifton Park, but Wilson fell for 77.

York took six points for an incomplete win to stay 21 points clear at the top.

Alex Renton, who took 3-32, told BBC Radio York: "We could've done with eight points really, but six is better than a loss."

Nick Kay and Tom Bartram also chipped in with two wickets each.

Scarborough stay in second place after taking six points in a 25-run win over Appleby Frodingham.

Rain delayed the start and they played 30 overs a side. Darren Harland scored 46 of Scarborough's 136. Then Piet Rinke took 4-55 as the Scunthorpe side were held to 111-7.

Harrogate picked up two points for achieving 90 % of the total in a high-scoring defeat at Rotherham.

The home side made 339, and Harrogate responded with 309-8.
