The batsman, while running for a quick single, injured his leg while running and fell in the pitch. Noticing Croft in pain, Root instructed his teammates to run him out. At the time of the incident, Lancashire needed 17 runs to win from 18 balls with five wickets to spare. Eventually, they chased down the target of 129 with n over to spare, with Croft returning unbeaten on 26.
