http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yorkshire-c867 and Leicestershire ended their four-day match in the ongoing County Championship Division Two without a result, at Grace Road, Leicester, on Monday, July 30, 2012.
Leicestershire resumed their second innings from the overnight score of 57 runs, with EJH Eckersley and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RR-Sarwan-c2371 coming out to bat their team to a big total.
However, the batsmen failed to yield a commendable score, as with 61 runs on the board, the partnership came to an end on the demise of Sarwan, who had his stumps demolished by SJ Harmison on a score of six runs off 17 deliveries.
Eckersley was then joined by MAG Boyce, but this partnership was also short-lived, as with 77 runs on the board, Yorkshire saw the back of Boyce, who fell after hitting four runs off 15 deliveries.
A run later, the batting side lost their fifth wicket on the demise of SJ Thakor, who fell without troubling the scorers. The batsman was trapped in front of stumps by SA Patterson.
Eckersley and WA White then unleashed http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gates-c58585 of h**l upon the fielding side, by smacking the bowlers everywhere.
Yorkshire were taken aback by this sudden resurgence from the batting side, and were left without any answers to the fantastic batting they were pitched against.
With a pile of 145 runs on the board, White was removed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Azeem-Rafiq-c46884, after the batsman had played a fiery knock of 44 runs.
With 148 runs on the board, the bowler struck once more by grabbing the wicket of Eckersley, who walked back to the pavilion after playing a innings of 26 runs off 105 deliveries.
Leicestershire ended the day after jabbing 157 runs, with wicketkeeper/batsman, PG Dixey standing on three and CW Henderson unbeaten on a knock of eight runs.
From Yorkshire, SA Patterson and Azeem Rafiq were the top bowlers after taking four wickets each in the four-day match.
While in the batting department, A Lyth and JM Bairstow were the best from Yorkshire with knocks of 248 and 118 to their names. And from Leicestershire, MAG Boyce stood tall for hammering 107 runs in the first innings.
