The Cricketer wraps up the best of the action from the latest round of matches in the 2024 Vitality Blast
Riverside: Leicestershire Foxes 140-8, Durham 130-8 - Leicestershire won by 10 runs
A brilliant Leicestershire bowling performance, led by South African allrounder Wiaan Mulder's 2 for 19, underpinned a come-from-behind 10-run win over Durham as they defended 141 in a thrilling Vitality Blast clash dominated by the bowlers at Seat Unique Riverside.
The Foxes were under pressure at the halfway point having posted 140 for 8, including Rishi Patel's opening 48 off 44 balls and 3 for 20 from England Test quick Matthew Potts.
Despite sluggish conditions, Durham would still have been confident of victory.

But it wasn't to be. Mulder's seam accounted for two early wickets as they slipped to 19 for 3 and failed to recover, falling short of chasing 17 off the last over.
Ashton Turner hit 49 for Durham, who finished on 130 for 8, added to Graham Clark's 53 not out off 56.
But Josh Hull's final over sealed Leicestershire's third win and consigned Durham to a third defeat. Both have played five.
