The pair put on 109 as the Foxes fought back from a tricky start to set Yorkshire 189 to win. Dawid Malan's half-century and another impressive innings from recent England Test call-up Harry Brook gave the Vikings hope, but Leicestershire secured their first win of the competition. The in-form Brook struck two crisp boundaries to get himself going but with five overs remaining Yorkshire were up against it needing 69 to win. Yorkshire needed 46 from the last 12 balls and Brook was unable to reach a third Blast fifty in succession, caught on the boundary for 29 off Naveen. Ackermann was removed by Thompson with 15 balls remaining, before Patel departed for a career-best 57 in the final over.
