Parnell going for a 4 a 6 then a wicket.

Leics taking their bowling and fielding form to the Yorkies today. They have them 82-7 after 14 overs

Seems even more of an unpredictable competition than ever.

Excellent comeback to restrict them to 161 but it looks to me as if it's tricky to score off the slower bowlers - pace on was going the distance.

The other day I was thinking 180 was about par...suspect that's not the case with this wicket. Hopefully I will be proven wrong but have a feeling this could be tricky.

Yorkies end up with 156-7, so Leics must have thrown it away in the last 5 overs

me too.... cold and gloomy

Robinson L turned in respectable figures again....... who knows, we might not miss de Loose when he finally buggers off with Holland

[Durhamfootman]

Sowter with excellent figures..... again!

Parnell didn't go for many in the PP and picked up a couple of wickets at the death, so that's a much better performance from him

Ben Raine went for a few tonight

Oh dear.... quickly out of the blocks again, I see

Yes, twice Parnell went for a 6 then struck next ball. One thing I noticed though was he was quite animated in the field- seemed to be offering advice which is good to see...provided it was the right advice!.
Robinson looks good- has some pace. raw obviously but he seems to know what he's doing

[Durhamfootman]

It's always hard when players have the same names. I can't be bothered to type out full names all the time, so I guess from now on Luke Robinson will have the be known as 'Stan'

Just need to be sensible- no heroics necessary with the required rate below 7.
