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

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

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

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.
