Chasing 203, Yorkshire were down in the dumps with the score at the end of 46 overs reading 9/123. A further 80 runs were required to win from the remaining 54 balls (it was a 55 over match). Nobody had scored more than Boycott's 31 in Yorkshire's innings when no. 11 Mark Johnson joined their wicketkeeper for the last wicket.

The following overs saw 9 sixes being hit, all from the bat of that diminutive wicketkeeper batsman who took particular liking for the slow left arm spin of David Steele and hit him 26 in an over.

Not only did he manage to eke out a 1 wicket win for Yorkshire with a 80 run partnership where Johnson's contribution was a mere 4 runs, he also ended with an unbeaten hundred against his name. In a result that not many had seen coming an hour ago, the match was over with 8 balls to spare.
