Ami Campbell believes Ria Fackrell’s brilliant 4-13 from four overs of off-spin in the opening Vitality Blast win over Derbyshire Falcons at Headingley was the springboard for the all-rounder’s impressive second half of the season.

Ami Campbell says this summer's 11-run triumph over Essex at Headingley in the FA Cup of county cricket did wonders for Yorkshire’s belief ahead of their elevation to Tier 1 in 2026.

Having tasted defeat to Worcestershire at Headingley on the opening day, Yorkshire were on the board having brushed Sussex Sharks aside at Hove the following Saturday - by nine wickets chasing 78. Now, it was time to put their foot down. And that’s exactly what they did, clipping the wings of the Derbyshire Falcons in remarkable fashion.
