Leicestershire 118 for 2 (Lilley 68*, Welch 41*) beat Worcestershire 116 for 9 (Kashif 24, Mike 3-20, Naveen 3-22, Parkinson 3-28) by eight wicketsLeicestershire Foxes at last gave their supporters something to cheer as an eight-wicket win over bottom-of-the-table Worcestershire Rapids ended a run of four consecutive home defeats in the Vitality Blast North Group. His unbroken third-wicket stand of 101 with Nick Welch (41 not out) came off just 59 balls. The left-arm spinner pushed one through to bowl the Rapids skipper next ball, before Naveen had Ed Pollock brilliantly caught at short third man off a thick edge with his first ball. Jack Haynes heaved Wiaan Mulder over midwicket for six but he holed out to mid-off, the third casualty of a powerplay that saw them 44 for 3. Dwayne Bravo and Kashif stopped the procession of wickets, but while they added 40 for the seventh wicket it took them 38 balls - a snail's pace in this format.
