Aneurin Donald equalled the Twenty20 record for the fastest half-century as he fired Derbyshire to victory over Yorkshire.
Donald reached 50 off just 13 balls as he equalled Marcus Trescothick’s feat, finishing with 85 as his side clinched a seven-wicket run.
Yorkshire had posted a competitive-looking target of 200 but Donald had different ideas.
Simply ridiculous!!!!
