Saqib Mahmood on a roll with five-for as Lancashire skittle Leicestershire

Saqib Mahmood became the first Lancashire bowler to take five wickets in successive List A games as his side overwhelmed Leicestershire by nine wickets in a one-sided Royal London One-Day Cup match at Emirates Old Trafford.

Following his six-wicket return against Northamptonshire on Wednesday, Mahmood bagged 5 for 14 against a visiting team which contained five former Lancashire players. Leicestershire were bowled out for 80 in 37 overs, their lowest List A total against Lancashire, with only Harry Dearden and Ben Mike reaching double figures.

Lancashire took only 19 overs to secure their facile victory, Haseeb Hameed making 29 not out and Steven Croft finishing unbeaten on 37 after the pair had put on an unbroken 73 for the second wicket. The only Lancashire batsman dismissed was Keaton Jennings who drilled a back-foot drive off Dieter Klein to the right of Mark Cosgrove at cover-point, only to see the Australian take a brilliant reflex catch.

The conclusion of a game which had featured a dozen maidens but only one six was in sharp contrast to the beginning of the contest four-and-a-half hours earlier.

Bowling straight and very quickly, Mahmood took his first wicket in the fourth over when he brought one back off the seam to have Cosgrove leg before wicket for a single. Next over he extracted enough bounce from the Old Trafford wicket to take the edge of Paul Horton's bat and Jennings pouched the catch at first slip.

Colin Ackermann was the next to go when he was bowled through the gate for two and Dearden followed for 20 in the twelfth over when he fished at a ball outside the off stump but only succeeded in giving a low catch to Jennings.

Liam Hurt joined the party to reduce Leicestershire to 42 for 5, although Lewis Hill's wild slash was not a shot he will recall with much fondness. Lancashire's Dane Vilas was not complaining, though; he took the catch behind the stumps and decided to keep Mahmood bowling from the Statham End.

Hurt then had Arron Lilley, another returning Lancastrian, caught down the leg side for a single, although the batsman's disappointment at Paul Baldwin's decision was evident. At that point Leicestershire were 46 for 6 and Mahmood was removed from the attack with figures of 7-2-12-4.

Jimmy Anderson enjoyed his only success when Callum Parkinson edged him to Vilas but the England seamer clutched an outstanding one-handed diving catch at mid-on to give Mahmood his fifth wicket when Lewis Hill miscued a pull after batting 52 minutes for 18. That wicket fell three overs after the departure of Klein, who was caught at slip off Glenn Maxwell and the innings ended in the 37th over when Rob Jones bowled Gavin Griffiths for four to end his last-wicket partnership of 12 with Chris Wright.

Mahmood, who took a career-best 6 for 37 against Northamptonshire, said he felt he needed to capitalise after Anderson had given him the choice of ends.

"There was a bit in the wicket up top and I felt we put the ball in the right places," Mahmood said. "I thought Jimmy would bowl from his own end but he gave me the choice, so I felt like I had to pull my finger out.

"I'm just in that little bubble where games are coming thick and fast. Even when I was on four wickets, I wasn't thinking about the fifth but when I got that I was thinking, 'hang on, I could get another CB here,' but that was the only time I looked forward. It was a good day all round."

The only gloomy note for the home side was struck when Matt Parkinson was forced to leave the field with an injured finger after stopping a fierce return drive from Mike. Parkinson damaged the webbing between the thumb and first finger on his left, non-bowling, hand and the injury was to be assessed over the next two days.

The first innings of the match was watched from the balcony of the Hilton Garden Hotel by the Chelsea players, Eden Hazard, Gonzalo Higuain and Pedro Rodriguez, who had stayed overnight at Old Trafford before their game at Manchester United.
