With Leicestershire having it all to do with only 53 runs to defend they
were unable to get the early breakthrough that they desperately wanted.
Phil Defreitas, along with Jimmy Ormond opened the bowling attack and
neither created chances.
Infact, it was only when Kumble came into the attack did things start to
happen. He had the left handed Craven caught behind when the score was on
27. Just two runs later Defreitas picked up the prize wicket of Vaughan who
was given out L.B.W by umpire Benson.
Darren Lehmann fresh from his Championship century against Leicestershire
earlier on in the week, continued to enjoy his good run of form and looked
intent on finishing the game as quickly as possible. He hit two consecutive
fours in one over off the bowling of Kumble and in the 14th over he hit the
winning runs to give Yorkshire a very easy victory.
Yorkshire's professional attitude and approach towards the game was of the
highest standard and its back to the drawing board for the Leicestershire
Foxes!
