With Leicestershire having it all to do with only 53 runs to defend theywere unable to get the early breakthrough that they desperately wanted.Phil Defreitas, along with Jimmy Ormond opened the bowling attack andneither created chances.Infact, it was only when Kumble came into the attack did things start tohappen. He had the left handed Craven caught behind when the score was on27. Just two runs later Defreitas picked up the prize wicket of Vaughan whowas given out L.B.W by umpire Benson.Darren Lehmann fresh from his Championship century against Leicestershireearlier on in the week, continued to enjoy his good run of form and lookedintent on finishing the game as quickly as possible. He hit two consecutivefours in one over off the bowling of Kumble and in the 14th over he hit thewinning runs to give Yorkshire a very easy victory.Yorkshire’s professional attitude and approach towards the game was of thehighest standard and its back to the drawing board for the LeicestershireFoxes!
