Leicestershire battle for a draw

COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP DIVISION TWO, Grace Road:

Leicestershire 183 & 174-4 drew with Northants 387

(Leics 7pts, Northants 11pts)

Leicestershire v Northants scorecard

Boeta Dippenaar hit an unbeaten 68 to secure a draw for Leicestershire after they had been forced to follow on.

Leicestershire began the day on 150-8, but failed to reach their target of 238 despite late runs from Sam Cliff and Andrew Harris.

They showed more concentration in their second innings and, after reaching 33 at the interval, pushed on.

Dippenaar looked strong and managed a partnership of 70 with Matt Prior before the sides agreed on a draw.
