Leicestershire 152 for 9 (Steel 72, Mike 34, Lintott 4-27) beat Birmingham Bears 147 for 9 (Davies 43, Mike 3-30, Ahmed 3-36) by five runsLeicestershire Foxes ended Birmingham Bears' 100% start to the Vitality Blast season with a five-run victory at Edgbaston. Steel then became Davies's fifth victim, the first of three wickets in the 18th over, from Lintott, which cost just one run. Davies' perky innings ended when he chipped Mike to backward point where Rishi Patel took a diving catch. Ahmed defeated Henry Brookes' swipe to have him stumped and Carlos Brathwaite was left with only the tail for company. It was a very good day and the win keeps us right in the mix."
