Lancashire 200 for 3 (Brown 62*, Buttler 57) beat Worcestershire 198 (Cox 44, Whiteley 38) by seven wicketsScorecard Jos Buttler overcame a painful blow to his left hand to smash a 20 ball half century as holders Lancashire Lightning boosted their NatWest T20 Blast qualification hopes with a seven wicket win over Worcestershire Rapids at New Road.The England player continued the form which had brought him an unbeaten 73 in the T20I against Sri Lanka at the Ageas Bowl on Tuesday as the Lightning made light work of a 199 target and triumphed with 11 balls to spare.Buttler, overlooked for the first Test against Pakistan next week, had required treatment when keeping wicket after being dealt a sharp blow by a bottom edge from Worcestershire batsman Ben Cox standing up to Luis Reece in the 17th over.

Tom Kohler-Cadmore (18) struck two sixes before he was bowled by Jordan Clark after hitting across the line.Joe Clarke looked in good touch on the day he and Brett DOliveira were named in the England Lions squad for the Tri-Series with Pakistan A and Sri Lanka A.But after making a classy 25 he went for a reverse sweep against Stephen Parry and popped up an easy catch to Buttler. DOliveira (30) holed out to deep mid wicket off Luis Reece and it became 99-5 when Worcestershire skipper Daryl Mitchell (9) was bowled by Steven Croft.The only substantial stand of the innings saw Ben Cox (44) and Ross Whiteley (38) add 77 in five overs. Cox collected five fours and a six in one Parry over and Whiteley smote 20 in the next over from George Edwards.But the last five wickets went down for 22 runs after Cox was bowled by Reece and Whiteley was run out attempting a second run off Jordan Clark.
