Cross reflects on 'emotional' trophy

KATE Cross says winning her first professional trophy with Lancashire earlier this summer was 'emotional', and the England fast-bowling star is desperate for more.

Cross played a prominent role as the county won the Vitality County T20 Cup at the start of the summer, and they have every chance of adding to that before 2025 is done.

Despite defeat at Durham last Thursday, by 89 runs chasing 258, Lancashire are well placed in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup having won six of their nine matches.

With five to play, starting against Essex at Sedbergh School on Wednesday - 10.30am, they are third in the table and with a seven-point gap to fifth place in the race for the semifinals.

This is the last game before the break in the county schedule for the Hundred.

"Everything's set up for a great summer," said Cross.
