Leics have used seven bowlers so far and Smith is the only one with respectable figures.

 

[glyn]

We are 68-3 chasing 304, and I've just realised that we only have 4 batsmen in the team plus Nixon.

Yorkshire 303/4 (40/40 ov)
Leicestershire 216/6 (29.4/40 ov)
Leicestershire require another 88 runs with 4 wickets and 10.2 overs remaining

Leicestershire RR 7.28
Required RR 8.51
Yorkshire RR 7.57


Batsmen Runs B 4s 6s SR Mat Runs Ave
D du Preez (rhb) 54 28 4 4 192.85 not out 46 564 31.33
CW Henderson (rhb) 2 4 0 0 50.00 not out 209 973 16.49

In with a chance if du Preez can stay in.

 

[Jeff]

Leics need 18 from 2 overs

 

[flashyfox]

12 off 9 balls needed. du Preez 98 not out!!

 

[glyn]

Commentary not working for me! Hadn't even looked at the score for an hour, I'd given up!

 

[glyn]

Incidentally I was just about to point out earlier that Du Preez although signed as an 'all-rounder' has done f-all with the bat up until now......

 

[flashyfox]

12 needed off last over du Preez facing.

 

[glyn]

12 off last over now, but I think DP is on strike

 

[flashyfox]

7 off 2 balls

 

[flashyfox]

no!!!

 

[glyn]

lost by one run

 

[flashyfox]

Lose by 1 run!!!!!!

 

[glyn]

Our batting is letting us down in the CC, and did so in the 2020, but our bowling isn't giving us a chance in the pro40 yet we are batting well

 

[flashyfox]

Naik's 1 run off 3 balls at the end seemed to settle it!
