YORKSHIRE director of cricket Martyn Moxon says Yorkshire Vikings' bowling cost them the chance of victory over Notts Outlaws in the Vitality Blast, while he has also revealed two bits of worrying injury news.

Both Notts' Tom Moores and Jake Libby registered their highest scores in the competition, as Notts recorded a victory by 63 runs.

Moores scored an unbeaten 80, blasting six fours and three sixes, putting on 112 in only 10.5 overs with Libby, who made 58.

Notts posted 212-5 after opting to bat first, with Matt Fisher taking 2-52.

The Vikings were always struggling to compete with a rapidly-increasing run-rate and could only make 149-7. Tom Kohler-Cadmore top-scored with 72 in their chase but the Outlaws attack held firm, led by Harry Gurney’s 3-24 in Friday's clash.

For Yorkshire, captain Steve Patterson suffered a broken left fore finger in defeat against Lancashire on Thursday night, and he could now be sidelined for the next four to five weeks.

New Zealand overseas batsman Kane Williamson is also due for an X-ray on Monday after he took a bang on his left ringer finger whilst taking a superb low catch to dismiss Alex Hales.

“It’s frustrating,” said Moxon, of the result.

“The captain getting injured yesterday didn’t help. It’s another thing hampering us.

“Patto’s got a broken finger and will be out for four to five weeks, possibly.

“Dave Willey’s going to continue doing it for the next couple of games (captaincy), and we’ll assess the Championship in due course.

“Kane’s also got a bang on the finger.

“He’s having an X-ray on Monday to check that out. We’ll have to see on that one.”

On the performance, Moxon said: “If you get your lines and lengths wrong in T20, you get punished, and I think that’s what happened tonight.

“There were more extras than we’d like as well. There were 30-odd runs from the extra balls. I think they showed us how to defend the dimensions on this ground. They did it very well.”

“We’re now aiming to win the last two games (against Northants and Notts in order to qualify for the quarter-finals), and we have to be a bit better in all departments.

“With the ball, we didn’t quite get it right often enough. We weren’t terrible, just a little bit off.”
