Typical Leicestershire game really. Northants are bottom of the T20 Northern Division, and despite a spell of poor fielding from the hosts, set a meagre 130/9. Leicestershire as ever decided to keep things interesting by losing Cobb and Du Toit for 10. Sloppy bowling by the Steelbacks (there were 23 extras!) and a 63 run stand by Jefferson and McDonald got the Foxes back on track, when Johan Botha ended that partnership with Leics on 73/3, Leicestershire seemed ready to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with Abdul Razzaq dispatched for 4 and a dropping run rate. James Taylor restored order, making it look easy in the end, earning 21 runs off 34 balls and seeing Leicestershire take a six wicket victory in the 18th over to stay second in the T20 N Division, trailing Nottinghamshire by two points.

Now if only we were better at longer forms of the game.
