Saturday's review

Leicestershire completed a second win in two days to put themselves firmly back in the hunt for quarter-final qualification, beating Yorkshire by four wickets with two balls remaining in the T20 Blast.

A spectacular half-century from New Zealand international Luke Ronchi, hit off just 19 balls and including seven fours and three sixes, set the Foxes on their way, and although they lost wickets regularly in an increasingly nervy reply, Colin Ackermann's unbeaten 58, made off 47 balls, saw them cross the line in the final over.

Remarkably, it was their first victory at home in the competition this season, with their previous five wins all coming away from the Fischer County Ground. Their two remaining fixtures see them face Derbyshire at home next Thursday, before they travel to Trent Bridge to play Nottinghamshire the following evening.

Yorkshire, who arrived with their spirits - and chances of qualification - lifted by beating Roses rivals Lancashire at Headingley the previous evening, must now beat Northants at home on Thursday, their final group fixture, to have any chance of qualifying.

Adam Milne claimed five for 11 as Kent beat Somerset by six wickets at Taunton to keep alive their chances of qualifying for the quarter-finals of the NatWest T20 Blast.

Returning his best figures for Kent, the 25-year-old New Zealand paceman registered 10 dot balls in 3.5 overs in addition to his wickets as the home side were dismissed for 149 in 18.5 overs.

Striking the ball cleanly, Sam Billings then posted an unbeaten 56 from 36 balls as the visitors reached their target with 10 deliveries to spare, in the process inflicting Somerset's first home defeat in the competition.
